This Old Wood - Fall / Winter

This Old Wood Fall/Winter

Here's a little something you may not know this about our company...

At Historic Flooring, we don't carry an inventory of "flooring". We have 7 acres of reclaimed and old growth wood. We custom create each floor AFTER we talk to you. We want to know exactly what you want your flooring to look like.

There are so many variables and possibilities...it's not just a matter of choosing a species. Do you want light or dark, smooth or rustic, knots or no knots, wide or narrow? We want to talk to you, send you photos, face-time with you, help you develop your vision.

Once everything is decided, we hand select the wood that will then be milled especially for your project. We are ALWAYS in the mood to talk about wood :) Please call us with your ideas! namaste’ steve 

Wide Plank Antique Oak This gorgeous wide plank antique Oak is our most requested floor! With dramatic widths ranging from 6 to 12 inches (up to 18 inches in some cases!), you can easily bring an old-world charm into your home. This product comes to you completely pre-finished and ready to install.

We start by hand sanding the surface, beveling the edges ever so slightly, and being careful to preserve the historical integrity of the planks. Typically, about 80% of your flooring will be "Smooth" with the remaining 20% having a slight texture from the original saw kerfs. This material will also have nail holes, knots, and checks which only adds to the unique character.

Next, we apply Waterlox, a tung oil based sealant with or without stain added. Finally, 3 coats of Vermont Polywhey finish are added with a hand buffing between coats. The result is a luxurious satiny finish that you can only get from Historic Flooring!

Old Growth White Oak When it comes to wood floors, White Oak is truly an American Tradition. Our Old Growth variety offers the same classic beauty, strength and durability as our reclaimed Oak minus the nail holes and other imperfections common to reclaimed wood. This makes our Old Growth White Oak the perfect choice for those desiring a cleaner look.

Species: Old Growth White Oak Millwork: Tongue & Groove Thickness: 3/4" Width: Various; Range of 3.5” - 7.5” (Wide Plank option 7.5" - 12") Length: Various; Range of 3’ - 12' Finish: Unfinished $8.99 sq. ft.

French Cream Flooring Our craftsmen have perfected the 6 step process that produces the light and creamy patina of this dynamic flooring. They hand rub the planks with a combination of food grade oils and other solutions until they achieve a splendid creamy white patina. Next, they reveal just a touch of the wood's natural beauty. The floor pictured has approximately 20% revealed. Finally, our signature 3 coat Vermont Poly-Whey finish is applied. Each coat is hand applied and, of course, handbuffed between coats. The result is this exquisite flooring with the satiny soft finish that you can only get from Historic Flooring!

This gorgeous Old Growth Eastern White Pine hardwood adds instant beauty and charm to a room. Eastern White Pine is characterized by its simple grains, subtle knots and wonderful durability. Because of its growth in colder climates, the wood has a much tighter grain than many species, and produces a vertical growth and dense heartwood pattern. This wood is traditionally known for its warmth and character. Whether you choose to stain this beautiful wood or leave it natural, Eastern White Pine will perfectly match your design needs; it is equally as stunning in a rustic and antique decor as it is in a clean and modern style.

Eastern White Pine is a wonderful candidate for a variety of stains; the wood's naturally light color is like a blank canvas for your tinting and staining specifications. Thinking of taking the "do-it-yourself" installation route? This is a great choice for you! The length and width of each plank make it easy and quick to lay this flooring yourself...!

Reclaimed Appalachian Pine This gorgeous Appalachian Pine Blend hardwood adds warmth and character to a room. Put it to use for your flooring, ceiling, wainscoting, or wall paneling needs -you're sure to impress yourself and guests with your individual style and tasteful design.

Reclaimed from old buildings and structures, this product is proof that some things DO get better with age! The wood's unique stress cracks and original saw marks, along with aging patina (surface color and sheen) are impossible to recreate using a “new” flooring product.

Ambrosia “Wormy” Maple Ambrosia Maple's remarkable patina is a unique alternative to Classic Maple wood. It has a beautifully creamy patina, filled with deposits that look similar to random water spots. The "blended nature" of Ambrosia Maple often displays mineral blues, greens, and pinks in addition to the natural chocolate brown and gray "streaks." Many refer to this wood as "Wormy" Maple when, in fact, the gray and brown streaking is not caused by worms but by the holes and tunnels created by the ambrosia beetle.

As with all of our products, our Ambrosia Maple is custom crafted specific to your project, so give us a call today 423-676-4220 and let us know what you have in mind.

Species: Ambrosia Maple Millwork: Tongue & Groove Thickness: 3/4" Width: Various; Range of 3.5” - 7.5” Length: Various; Range of 3’ - 12' Finish: Unfinished $6.99 sq. ft.

"Dino" Blend Flooring We recently put together this mix of reclaimed and old growth planking for a new customer. It turned out so well, we decided to name it after him! We started with primarily Beech and White American Oak, and riddled it with a small percentage of other selected hardwoods.

Notice the Strategic placement of the painted red barn wood planks!

Milled "Hit & Miss", with hand drawn edges on each and every board. All of the edges are lightly handsanded to create a wonderful rolled bevel. The warm, rich patinas complement both the textured feel of the saw-kerfs and smoother planks to create a product that is TRULY a hand-crafted original. This amazing "worn upon" wide plank flooring is as comfortable to lay on as your grandmother's bed, and comes to you ready to install and finish.

Reclaimed Wormy Chestnut American Chestnut wood is extremely rare and limited.

We have acquired this wood by carefully reclaiming it from historic barns and buildings, and are proud to offer this top-quality and beautiful material. Known for its strength and durability, craftsmen have long valued its tight grain, knotholes and, in this case, worm holes and tracks that helped lead to the extinction of the species. Its patina, once finished, is a rich combination of golden tones and dark chocolate browns. The surface has magnificent character full of wormholes, cracks and knots.

Pre-Finished Barnwood Paneling Let us do most of the work for you with our PreFinished Barnwood Paneling! We start by hand selecting the boards, then we lightly hand-sand to remove the "fuzz/splinters", and finally, apply 2 to 3 coats of Vermont PolyWhey Finish. The patina takes on a whole new personality and is smooth to the touch.

If you decide to opt for hand sanding only, your new flooring will come to you ready to install and finish, or, we will pre-finish it for you. Pre-finishing includes the price of the hand sanding option and will also include the following:

Large, industrial sanders will erase the marks of time from the wood, which is the whole point of rescuing it.

Our craftsmen will gently hand-sand your flooring, taking care to preserve the historical integrity of the wood.
