Rustic Red Oak - Highly varied in color - very mixed in grain patterns and color streaking. All boards will have either knots or small cracks. A very beautiful and striking look. Sometimes called cabin or character grade. This grade in the last 2 years has become our biggest seller.

White Oak - Grading same as red oak above. The most obvious differences would be white oak has a slightly tighter grain pattern and instead of predominately cream to pinkish red tones as in red oak, white oak are those of light cream to a tannish brown.

Hickory/Pecan - Very dense and strong. Extremely variegated colors from cream to chocolate brown. Probably the most inconsistent colored and grain patterned wood we mill.

Santos Mahogany - Very dense and tight grained. Flooring boards very in color from carnation pink to golden brown to mottled pinkish red, golden pink to reddish brown. Varied grain patterns
