Our exotic hardwood flooring originates from Bolivia and Paraguay, and
comes from sustainable forests. All of our exotic hardwood products are A-
Grade. This gradation can be subdivided into A- and A+ grades, known in
the industry as “Select” and “Clear Grade” respectively. The majority of
exotic hardwood products that we inventory are “Clear Grade”.
All of our reclaimed hardwood flooring is salvaged from historic structures
around the world, such as old barns and factories. All our reclaimed
product is custom milled and graded to order.
All products are available either unfinished or prefinished.

All hardwoods will change color with exposure to U.V. light and Oxygen. With some species of hardwood,
this is barely noticeable. With others, the color-change is somewhat drastic. In the extreme examples of
color-change, the floor must be left to “mature” for approximately three months before furniture is
permanently placed in the room. This will allow for an even color maturation of the floor.
Nearly all hardwood product we offer are significantly harder than Northern Red Oak (1260 Janka). This
makes our line of hardwood a fine choice for both a residential and commercial application. Our hardwoods
will be much more resistant to denting than nearly any species that are domestically available.
All non-inventoried exotic wood flooring products are available as “Special Order” items, and require at least
90 Days Lead-Time. Most reclaimed wood flooring products can be custom milled in a two to six week time
frame. We have the ability to source many hard-to-find items not listed in our marketing materials – ask
your sales representative for more information.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a third party, international organization based
in Bonn, Germany, with national offices in more than 40 countries. The FSC has
developed principles, criteria, and standards for forest management in an effort to
implement sustainable forestry practices across the globe.
Products certified by the FSC come from well-managed forests, where not only the flora
and fauna are protected, but indigenous peoples’ rights and socio-economic factors are
considered as well. Currently, FSC Certified products are the only certified wood products
accepted by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) for Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building projects.
