Species

The species of a tree is its identity and each one has its own grain, colour and properties.

AUTHENTIC

Authentic refers to something that is genuine, real, and true to its origins or nature.

It implies that an object, experience, or idea is not fake, counterfeit, or altered, but rather has a sense of originality, credibility, and trustworthiness. Authenticity is often associated with qualities like honesty, originality, and accuracy, making it a key term in contexts like art, culture, food, and personal behavior.

MODERATE

Moderate refers to something that is average or middle in intensity, size, degree, or quality.

It can indicate a balanced or intermediate position between extremes. In various contexts, the term implies a level of moderation—neither too high nor too low, but somewhere in between.

WOOD HARDNESS

Wood hardness refers to the resistance of wood to indentation, wear, and damage.

It is often measured using the Janka hardness test, which determines the force required to embed a steel ball of a specific diameter into the wood to half its diameter. This value is used to assess the durability and workability of different wood species.

Wood Grain

Wood species are differentiated by their grain, in other words, by the visible contrast of the growth rings.

Species such as white oak and hickory possess a pronounced wood grain that gives them character. Hard maple on the other hand, display a tighter and less contrasted grain.

Species We Carry

Cherry

Cherry is prized for its rich warmth and refined grain, starting with lighter reddish tones that deepen over time into a deeper, elegant amber-red. It’s the “luxury sweater” of wood species—soft, sophisticated character with a cozy, upscale feel.

Cherry

Maple

Maple has a fine, smooth grain and a bright, clean appearance that keeps spaces feeling open and fresh. Because the grain is subtle, it reads more modern and minimal—perfect if you want a lighter floor with a sleek, consistent look (and less “busy” patterning).

White Oak

White Oak offers a slightly tighter grain than red oak, with a timeless, premium look and earthy undertones that can lean beige, honey, or soft brown. It’s a favorite for clean, elevated spaces because it takes stain beautifully and delivers that “designer floor” vibe without trying too hard.

White Oak

Red oak

Red Oak is known for its bold, open grain and warm tones that range from light tan with a rosy cast to rich reddish-brown. It’s a classic, high-character look that pairs well with both traditional and modern interiors—especially if you like visible grain and natural variation.

Red oak

Hickory

Hickory brings strong personality with dramatic color variation and prominent grain—often blending light cream tones with deeper browns in the same board. It’s ideal if you want a rustic-meets-modern statement floor that hides daily life well (kids, pets, and that one friend who drags chairs like it’s a sport).
