SETTING THE GRADE

We offer 4 grades of wood: prime, select, nature, and rustic - these vary in size and amount of knots, sapwood and grain. Understanding our grading system is key to appreciating the natural characteristics that will contribute to the overall look of your floor. Due to the natural variation in wood, each plank and block will be unique even within its designated grade.

SELECT A mix of prime and cleaner nature grade boards. Most planks will be sap free, with some irregular grain and a limited number of knots allowed. PRIME The cleanest grade that gives the most uniform appearance. It allows for a small number of knots, but has minimal amounts of sapwood and the smallest amount of tonal variation.

NATURE Some of the boards will include sapwood and heartwood which has a wider tonal variation. Irregular grain, medium knots, and complementary filler will be used.

RUSTIC A heavier grade than nature which allows a virtually limitless size and number of knots, heartwood and tonal variation throughout the boards. There is no minimum amount of sapwood or filler.
