Stripped Oak Wood is a bark-free building block obtained by right-clicking an Oak Log with an axe, or by crafting four Stripped Oak Logs into three Stripped Oak Wood on a crafting table. The clean six-sided beige surface matches Stripped Oak Logs end-for-end, which makes Stripped Oak Wood the go-to pillar material when builders want columns with no dark bark ring. Stripped Oak Wood stacks to 64, has a hardness of 2.0, a blast resistance of 2.0, and burns in fire and lava just like any other oak-family block. Oak trees grow across plains, forests, swamps, and wooded badlands, so the supply is fully renewable through simple tree farming. Stripped Oak Wood also works as furnace fuel, smelting 1.5 items per block.

Builds that lean on Stripped Oak Wood range from medieval timber frames to modern park pavilions, because the pale tone pairs cleanly with Stone Bricks, White Concrete, and Oak Planks. The craftable family extends to planks, slabs, stairs, fences, fence gates, doors, trapdoors, signs, buttons, pressure plates, and boats, so a single oak farm covers an entire neutral-toned palette. Introduced in Java 1.13 and Bedrock 1.13.0 as part of The Update Aquatic, Stripped Oak Wood was added so players could finally hide the bark texture on load-bearing pillars. For a base built in a plains or forest biome, Stripped Oak Wood delivers a brighter, more uniform column than ordinary Oak Wood.
