FIREWOOD
The upper section of the tree is used for firewood, which may not be suitable for flooring due to higher branch density and smaller trunk size.
CHARACTER
Our character grade comes from the middle part of the tree. This part has a visual appeal and some knots but avoids the large holes of the top part. We refer to our character grade as “light character”.
SELECT
Our select grade comes from the bottom part of the tree and is the youngest wood, which results in the absence of knots and a sleek appearance.
SELECT
Select grading offers a clean, refined appearance with minimal knots and variations, perfect for creating a modern and sleek aesthetic. Ideal for spaces where a consistent and sophisticated look is desired.
CHARACTER
Character grading showcases the natural beauty of wood with visible knots, color variations, and unique grain patterns, adding warmth and personality to any room. It’s perfect for those who appreciate the rustic charm and authenticity of natural hardwood.
