Our specialty is high quality hardwoods. In addition to random width and length lumber we specialized in width sorted products for the molding and flooring industries. Plank flooring blanks (elements) and specifically Walnut, Hickory and White Oak blanks (elements) are a major product group.
We also offer reclaimed, solid, mixed oak flooring.
Widths: 3", 4", 4.5", 4.75" and 5" widths. The best value and greatest
concentration of availability is in the 4.5" and 4.75" widths. We
can also do 6" - 12" as a reclaimed product, albeit in smaller
quantities and or on accumulation. We also have the ability to do both new
and reclaimed american black walnut. In the new product, we can do walnut
in all those widths but with a greater degree of certainty and with
somewhat shorter lead times. They can be produced in both solid and
engineered as well.
Lengths: can be from 16" and up but depending up grading
characteristics, this flooring can have a particularly long average
length. It is reasonable to have a 12' average length in some cases.
Grades: In broad terms, we can do a character/rustic grade, Select and
"dirty top" grades.
Most of this would be solid but could be engineered (9 ply baltic birch
substrate) as well, especially those products being made out of resawn
beams. Pricing dynamics don't necessarily make narrower face widths as
cheaper items. We have to work with the standard widths that are found in
vintage buildings as a starting point.
In addition to flat sawn product, a lot of the beams and joists were
straight sawn at the time and as a result, there is a significant amount
of rift & quartered product available. We can't tell how much just yet
but enough for production and sale of viable production runs.
We can also do wide floors in rustic White oak
out of new product. This can be either solid or engineered.
