Small open holes, up to ¼” in diameter, are also allowed but are rare. There is normally a small percentage of sap; however, sap is not considered a defect. Lengths of planks vary from 1’ to 10’, with an average of about 4’. Casa grade Red Birch results in a floor with rich grain pattern and sound defect requiring very little fill.

Sticking to strict tolerances in milling results in a precise fit on sides and ends of our planks. Our bundles contain long average lengths, creating a rich look of continuity in the finished floor.

A time-tested favorite, Quartersawn/Riftsawn White Oak is a very durable flooring material. It is derived from lumber which is cut with the grain oriented at a 30-90 degree angle to the face of the plank. Not only does the quartersawing process produce an attractive appearance in the wood, but also results in improved durability, surface smoothness, and stability. (It is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn White Oak.) Many planks contain interesting medullary rays or “fleck.”

Our Madera grade in Quartersawn/Riftsawn White Oak will contain a range of color, knots (both sound and open) up to 2” in diameter, holes up to ½” in diameter, some cracks, a small amount of sap wood along with other occasional character marks.
