This method of sawing the log exposes the medullary rays and “fleck” in the wood grain. Quarter and rift sawn oak flooring has radial and vertical grain instead of tangential grain. This gives the planks a completely different appearance from the cathedral grain of our plainsawn oak floors, and it provides additional stability.
Why You’ll Love Rift and Quarter Sawn Oak Floors
We can make you a custom floor because we are a sawmill. Choose your plank widths and lengths, grade, and cut. Choose unfinished or prefinished. We make it just for you. We can provide the flooring to you as traditional solid wood in 3/4″ thickness, or as engineered 3/4″ thickness, which includes a 5 mm hardwood wear layer.
Using American-grown wood products, like eating local food, creates an incentive for landowners to keep their forests for generations to come.
Our family has made wide plank flooring for over 55 years, and we enjoy creating enduring floors that are a healthy and environmentally friendly solution for our clients’ homes.
