Antique Oak flooring is the most refined
of our oak products. The evidence of the wood's history is limited,
but may include nail holes, small bolt holes, insect tracks, enriched
patina, attractive checking, remnants of weathering and more. When
these elements are combined with the natural characteristics of
the wood, such as attractive grain patterns, knots and color changes,
a floor that fits into a multitude of uses is formed.

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. |
