Choosing the correct variety of wood for your flooring is one of the most important decisions to make in the design process. One of the first factors to consider is the grain of the wood. Some woods, such as oak, have a pronounced grain while other woods, such as maple and cherry, have a more muted grain. Consider how the type of wood and its natural grain would suit the design of the piece. Some of our customers select a highly figured grain, like quarter sawn oak, which gives individuality and character to the piece. We work with our customers every step of the way through the design process to create an outstanding piece that will match your distinctive style!
