This is white oak which is resawn from old hand hewn beams. The age leads to an even patina throughout, and thus a very even colored floor. Since it is resawn from beams, and we skin the outside to make the flooring from the center, it leads to flooring with no saw distressing, less nail oxidation and holes. We source our antique white oak from areas in which we know will lead to more worm holes. These worm holes when finished give it
a look that cannot be duplicated. This material is the most popular for our antique
scraped lines.

This antique oak is reclaimed from oak barnsiding, which leads to its weathered, patina rich color.This product is what we call hit and miss, or skip planed, because the planer hits the higher weathered surfaces first leaving them clean, and leaving the lower areas with saw marks, raised grain, and a darker patina. It also has nail holes, mineral deposits, hairline cracks, and worn spots to give it the character of an original 19th century floor. It is a mix of red and white oak which also adds to its variety in color. This is the perfect floor for the family who has children and dogs and does not want to worry of the wear and tear of everyday family life. When coated with Waterlox tung oil, the maintenance is simple. If you scratch it just coat the affected area and it disappears into a memory. This floor never needs to be refinished, just recoated every now and then. This is my personal favorite, and is the floor in my families main living area.

American chestnut is one of the rarest species of flooring. It became extinct due to a blight which began wiping out the species in the early 1900's. The fact that it is extinct leads to it being both rare and expensive. It is however one of the most unique looking species that exists. It ranges from ivory to a dark brown. It has a very distinct grain that stands out due to the grain being darker than the surounding wood. It has very distinct small worm holes, mineral deposits, nail holes, rich patina, and hairline cracks. It can be clean milled or skip sawn distressed.

Heart Pine is mainly available in our antique line. It is rather rare in the old growth forests due to the heavy use in timbers of the industrial expansion of the late 1900's. During this time the Southern Longleaf Yellow Pine was one of the main species used for the larger timbers of factories and warehouses. These 100+ year old structures give us timbers of great size. leading to floors with a deep, rich, even patina that is unmatched in new wood. Our Heart Pine floors come in two grades. Select grade which is a rift and quarter sawn mix, leading to its clear vertical grain. Our select grade generally comes in 3-6" widths, with and average length over 8'. It has small knots, tight grain, and some nail holes. Country grade is a more rustic floor with a wider grain structure, more knots, and nailholes. Our Country grade comes in widths from 4-12", with an average length easily over 8'. Heart Pine has a hardness of 1000 on the Janka scale, making it one of the hardest of the Pine family of flooring.
