Roasted Hardwood

Soft Maple and yellow birch while drying are “torrified”. In the kiln oxygen is removed at high temperature causing the wood to roast. The resulting color is a fairly uniform brown. Unlike a floor stained to a brown color, the color is consistent through the board. The grain is fine and less defined.

Grades:

Select brown

Boards are brown with variations in hue. Knots and checking are not permitted. We are very happy with this grade and resulting floor. The coloring is a very rich brown with the natural wood qualities in tact.
