Select Harvest Vintage Butternut

Surface: Wood Flooring

Type: Select Harvest Vintage Wood Flooring

Species: Butternut

Treatment: New Face, Contour Sanded, Wire Brushed, Pre-Finished, Cerused

Dimensions: 3/4" x 4 - 10" x 4 - 10'

Attributes: The lighter toned brother of our walnut—our select harvest vintage butternut -- shares the same grain pattern with walnut, but provides spectacular honey toned heartwood. Butternut also finishes to a rich patina with periodic small closed knots adding further to the gorgeous character. The final floor adds glowing comfort to any style space.

Notes: Butternut, like Chestnut and elm, has similarly encountering an attack from an invasive agent and unfortunately is also a beautiful species that is in decline. The Hudson Co. sources its vintage butternut from timber that has been harvested before being affected by the disease. By reclaiming these “dead standing” timbers, The Hudson Co. offers architects and designers a rare opportunity to use the unique aesthetics of this species that may never return.

Dimensions: 3/4" x 4 - 10" x 4 - 10'

Because of its strength it’s commonly used for axe handles.

Select Harvest Vintage Maple

Surface: Wood Flooring

Type: Select Harvest Vintage Wood Flooring

Species: Maple

Treatment: New Face, Contour Sanded, Wire Brushed, Original Saw Kerf Marks, Pre-Finished, Cerused

Notes: Maple is nearly 60% harder than white oak making it the hardest wood used for flooring. Maple has been called “nature’s perfect flooring” because of its durability.

Select Harvest Vintage Red Oak

Surface: Wood Flooring

Type: Select Harvest Vintage Wood Flooring

Species: Oak

Treatment: New Face, Contour Sanded, Wire Brushed, Original Saw Kerf Marks, Pre-Finished, Cerused, Heat Treated

Dimensions: 3/4" x 4 - 10" x 4 - 10'

Attributes: Select Harvest Vintage Red Oak is a more prevalent standing timber than White Oak and in many regards a more beautiful species. It shares many of the attributes with its paler brother, but has a slightly pink hue, more open grain structure and distinctive red knots. Red Oak accepts stain well and because of its slightly pink cast is far superior to white oak when a bleached or pickled look is desired. Additionally, when Red Oak is quartersawn, it exhibits significantly less dramatic figuring, for those seeking a subtler look.

Notes: The market for custom milled Red Oak is not as strong as that for White Oak. Conversely, there is significantly more naturally growing red oak timber. When considering the environmental impact of your choice, Red Oak makes sense and is often more economical as well. Further, we always advise using the full millrun of the Red Oak timber to minimize any waste and maximize the character of the final floor.

Select Harvest Vintage White Oak

Surface: Wood Flooring

Type: Select Harvest Vintage Wood Flooring

Species: Oak

Treatment: New Face, Contour Sanded, Wire Brushed, Original Saw Kerf Marks, Pre-Finished, Cerused, Heat Treated

Dimensions: 3/4" x 4 - 10" x 4 - 10'

Attributes: Oak’s familiar creamy hues lend esteem to virtually any design. Our Select Harvest Vintage White Oak can be graded and milled to complement a wide array of looks and styles—from rustic to ultra modern. White oak is also a “blank slate” for color as it readily accepts stains—from the blackest of black to high key white. When quartersawn, White Oak reveals dramatic tiger-stripe figuring and dazzling flecks. When riftsawn, the grain pattern becomes subdued and the floor becomes a discreet contemporary design element.

Notes: White Oak is possibly the most coveted and widely utilized hard wood on the planet. Its grain structure invites penetrating stains, can be fumed to achieve a warm Walnut like tonality or bleached to a subtle, hazy white patina. Its strength and workability make it the first choice of craftsman, artisans and ship builders. In addition, using the full millrun of the White Oak timber is highly advised to minimize any waste and maximize the character of the final floor.
