RECLAIMED FLOORING

Premium Mixed Grain:

The grain variation and character make this our most popular grade. Mixed grain fir has the following characteristics: Small to medium sized knots that are tight and most are checked. Mixed grain will have some flat-sawn and some vertical-sawn and some boards with a mix of grain orientation. Expect nail holes, nail stains and other signs of previous life.

Premium Vertical Grain:

With its straight tight grain, this is the most formal of our fir grades. Our vertical grain flooring and mill work has the following characteristics: Infrequent small to medium sized knots and minimal light surface checking as well as very few nail holes, nail stain and other signs of previous life.

Superior Vertical Grain

This is the highest grade of product, with very tight grain structure, very infrequent small knots. Very limited nail holes...

We can custom mill flooring and timbers to specification: some of the different timber frame options are below:

S-4-S - This designation is a mill abbreviation which stands for 'surfaced four sides'. The mill, using a large four-sided planer, accurately planes all four sides of a timber before shipment to our shop. The resulting timber has four relatively smooth faces which are square to one another and the timber is typically planed down to 1/2" under stated dimensions. (For instance a timber ordered as an 8"x 8", S-4-S, will typically be received bearing net dimensions of 7 1/2" x 7 1/2".) Because the timber has been accurately sized at the mill, our task in the shop is made simpler as we are working with material that is square, of known dimensions, and whose surfaces are flat.

Rough-Sawn - Rough-sawn timber, as the name implies, bears the rough finish from the mill. These timbers are full size, meaning that a timber that is ordered as an 8" x 8" will be of that dimension or very close. Rough-sawn timbers are most often used for areas of a home such as porches, for barns, and for outdoor structures such as bridges. Rough-sawn timbers are also ordered for projects that call for hand-hewn timbers--.
