Character Grade

Character Grade Flooring

River-Reclaimed White Oak
Flat-Sawn

Description: 6" to 12" wide, solid & engineered flooring.

Almost all logs recovered from the river are clear, virgin growth, straight grained logs, which yield clear grade lumber and flooring. Some logs that are found, however, are from treetops and display character marks of knots, limbs & forks. Another frequent character marking is “cracks" or “checks", which form naturally towards the centers of the largest logs. These cracks and checks do not structurally compromise the integrity of the floor. We grade this material to NOFMA's Number 2 common grade. This flooring will have a “rustic" appeal.

Our Character Grade Flooring exhibits random colors, from natural medium tan to the darkest mineral infused Dark Forest product.
