PERFECT WOOD
We are the only company in the world to exclusively use prime grade logs.
These logs are rare, prized for their consistent color, tight grain patterns, uniformity of ring spacing and lack of blemishes.
Out of these rare perfect logs only a small percentage of them are suitable for our flooring.
PERFECT QUARTER SAWN GRAIN
We are the only company to use the radial quarter-sawing process.
Although consider the most labor intensive sawing method it produces a near perfect vertical grain angle of 80°to 90°.
In addition to yielding the greatest stability for any species of wood, radial quarter-sawing produces the tightest, most constant grain pattern.
PERFECT RIFT SAWN GRAIN
Our proprietary radial-rift saw mill is the only one of its kind in the world. We invented it.
This method produces a larger quantity of near identical rift-grained boards from each log, creating a floor with a more uniform grain structure and color consistency across the width of wider boards.
LABOR-INTENSIVE LOW STRESS DRYING
Our drying methods are different than other manufactures. We mill our wood to its approximate final thickness prior to drying. Although labor intensive, it results in less induced stresses.
Each wear is meticulously stacked by hand and separated with our specially designed spacers. They are gently air dried to ensure a gradual change in moisture content.
The final step of the drying process is accomplished in our proprietary low stress kilns which slowly dries flooring and provides a more uniform moisture content gradient.
