    - Wood Hardness

    Each wood species has unique physical characteristics. Hardness can vary greatly from one wood species to another. Wood hardness is an important consideration when choosing the wood species for a particular application. For high stress uses, such as flooring, harder woods are the best consideration, for example. Ask your dealer whether a particular species is suited for your intended application.

  - Additional Information

  Trees like all living things are affected by their surroundings.  From seedling to maturity, soil and weather conditions cause the development of distinctive grain patterns, mineral streaks, and color variations.  This process doesn’t stop after the tree is harvested.  The finest hardwoods continue to respond to environmental stimuli.  The color, grain, and texture variations that develop are what make wood unique and are part of the intrinsic beauty of fine hardwoods.  These hardwoods pass through the skilled hands of our craftsmen who shape them into fine hardwood doors and mouldings.  We bring to you the natural beauty of hardwoods, enhancing your home for years to come.
