The evidence of previous use in Historic
Oak Flooring may include weathering, nail holes, small bolt holes,
and insect tracks, but it is the enriched patina and attractive
checking patterns that set this product apart from other reclaimed
wood floors. When these elements are combined with the natural characteristics
of the wood, such as a wide combination of grain patterns, knots
and color variations, a floor with utmost character and historic
content develops. Historic Oak Flooring looks authentically ancient
and fits well into many design schemes from Mountain to Formal,
Tuscan and Adobe.

The unique distinctiveness of a reclaimed wood
product is generally what makes it so desirable. Although we may provide
a sample, photograph or description of a particular type of wood product
as an example to demonstrate the general characteristics of that type
of product, such sample, photograph or description may not necessarily
be representative of the product actually delivered due to the great
variability in color, grain, texture, sign of previous use, etc. |
