Species and Grades

Ash
Our American Gothic Ash is often used as a more economical substitute for Chestnut. With its flowing grain patterns and rich color, this floor is elegant and
stunning.

Autumn Woods
The Settlers' Plank version of Autum Woods shows some great contrast between the lighter planed and darker patinated areas. We do also offer the Autumn Woods in a more refined version...American Gothic.

Beech
Reclaimed from barn timbers, beech has a lighter color that will brighten any room. It typically shows many insect marks and may have a blush or two (a faint pink tinge) in places. A great flooring choice for high traffic areas or dog & kid occupied rooms.

Chestnut
Chestnut was decimated by a fungal blight in the early/mid 20thC and is no longer available as a fresh-sawn wood. We salvage old barns in order to bring you this quintessential American species and mill it with the respect it deserves.

Reclaimed Elm
Red elm is another one of those species that is simply unavailable from a regular lumber yard. It exhibits a beautiful flame-like grain pattern with a slight iridescence depending on illumination.

Grey elm did not succumb to Dutch Elm Disease, unlike like its sister species, we encounter both when we salvage old barns.

Hickory
Reclaimed hickory gives a truly dramatic look to a floor due to its contrasting knots and sapwood. Hard as nails, it wears superbly and is a great choice for anywhere that will house dogs or kids.

Maple
I guess we all mellow with age and reclaimed maple is no exception to the rule. Whereas fresh sawn maple can often have a harsh, bleached look, it's reclaimed counterpart has more honeyed tones, along with the insect tracks, nail holes and possibly a little spalting.

Reclaimed Oak
The traditional choice, we offer either red or white oak flooring (or will gladly combine the species to produce even more contrast). Our Settler's Plank produces a rugged look while our American Gothic grade has just enough character to ensure it won't be mistaken for a mass-produced oak floor. The degree and type of character is dependent on source - no two floors are alike but we'll do our best to accommodate special requests.

Reclaimed Australian Jarrah
Salvaged from Australian woolen mills, our Reclaimed Jarrah has the look of rainforest-grown Mahogany. A strong, dense wood with a rich grain and fine details, Jarrah works well as boardstock for furniture and due to its hardness, makes terrific flooring.

Our reclaimed Jarrah is a mix of Jarrah and Karri woods, both of the Eucalyptus family. Unless you handle this wood every day, for all practical purposes the woods are indistinguishable. For that reason, we refer to both woods as “Jarrah,” as it is the more common species we sell.
