DOUGLAS
FIR
Reclaimed
from buildings, tressels and other structures,
this wood is generally found in the northwest
and midwest.
Due to the vast fir forests cut in the 1800's
and early 1900's
we find this wood in good quantity and in
larger timbers.
Used for beamwork and for fine furniture,
flooring,
and cabinetry. Somewhat susceptible to dinging
and
marring. Moderately resistant to decay.

ANTIQUE
PINES
"Northern
White and Red Pine"
These woods are primarily acquired from
old
commercial buildings and warehouses in the
northeast.
Good size timbers and resawn plank are available.
Although softer than heart pine, it is also
used as
flooring material. It is lightweight and
is perfect for
decorative ceilings, wainscot and mouldings.

ANTIQUE
OAKS
"Antique
Oak"
Primarily acquired from the
midwest regions. Reclaimed
from barns and some industrial buidings.
The finished
flooring, which we keep in inventory, is
usually a mix of
red and white oak, but we can provide all
red or all
white oak floors at our customers' request.
