Frontier Oak is full of the character of
reclaimed wood. There will be plenty of the original saw-marks and
weathering on the face of the floor. This patina combined with the
warm feel of oak creates a powerful look.

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.
