Transform your space with a naturally aged floor made from old growth wood.
Instantly create warmth, charm, and character by recycling wood from the past and fusing it with modern design.
(Also, recycling is good for the environment.)
Some things you should know about our reclaimed wood flooring.
We primarily deal with pine, chestnut, and oak.
However, we do carry other wood such as hemlock, hickory, maple, etc.
Due to market fluctuations and availability, we do not always have all species at all times.
Our cut lengths are 4’ - 12’.
Widths ranging from 3” - 12” are available.
10” and over can be difficult to get and will sometimes take longer to fulfill orders.
Pricing will vary accordingly.
Thickness finished at 3/4”.
We offer tongue and groove and skip planing.
Custom stair treads available.
Kiln dried.
Our inventory is comprised mostly of old growth wood from Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Old growth is typically considered anything 150 years old or more.
This is what creates the tight grain, extreme hardness, and durability.
The character and uniqueness created by old growth wood cannot be replicated by the new growth being sold at big box retailers today.
Types of reclaimed flooring
White Oak
Oak is an incredibly hard wood making it very resistant to scratching and wear.
Again with hard wood reference…smh.
Oak is very receptive to stain which gives customers a variety of different color options. White oak is especially resistant to liquid making it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Oak is very dense, has a spectacular grain, and requires minimal maintenance if sealed correctly during installation.
Finishing Tips:
Similar to chestnut, oak can be stained and sealed with a water or oil based polyurethane.
Again, like chestnut, tongue oil is also a great option!
Chestnut
As the saying goes, “There used to be so many chestnut trees that a squirrel could travel from Maine to Georgia without ever having to touch the ground.”
Or something like that…
Anyway, after a blight in the early 1900’s that attacked the American chestnut trees, the population had been wiped out.
This is also the cause of all the worm holes. After a tree died from the blight, the worms would take over the tree, tunneling through it like a pack of angry moles.
Chestnut makes a beautiful floor due to its rich and creamy colors. It’s also very durable, making it a great option for high traffic areas.
Finishing tips:
Stain it with whatever color you choose and finish it off with a water or oil based polyurethane for amazing results.
Tongue oil can also be used for a warm and natural look.
Pine
Extremely versatile and long lasting, pine is an attractive choice for many homeowners due to its various color options, prominent grain, and rustic appeal.
Pine can be finished using a plethora of products, further adding to its extreme versatility.
Finishing tips:
For a warm and traditional look, try tongue oil.
If a natural color is what you’re after, try a clear varnish.
Pine also receives stain and paint very well if you are looking to go darker or add a pop of color.
