Species Description
Walnut hardwood flooring is an American standard well known for its dark brown heartwood, often featuring a purplish cast and darker streaks. So distinctive is the color of the Walnut hardwood that the word "Walnut" itself has come to refer to this deep, rich, and highly sought after chocolate brown. One of the harder domestic species, a Walnut hardwood floor also sports a warming tone that, when combined with its rich brown tones, creates an air of tradition and classic elegance that lends itself to both modern and rustic decor. Softer than most exotic species, Walnut offers more character and deeper color than just about any other specie available.

Grading
Our Alpine Grade is a mix of 3", 4" and 5" widths, in a non repeating pattern - also known as a random width floor. Lengths run 2' to 10' or longer. Our product is mill run grade which has everything the tree has to offer in color and character. This is UNFINISHED MATERIAL but it is PRESANDED and we recommend an oil based finish to bring out the most color. Not end matched, precision end trimmed only.
Unlimited larger dark knots are allowed as well as open or broken knots up to 3/4". These are to be filled with a self-leveling epoxy. We allow unlimited sap wood which generally shows a marked color difference from the heart wood. These natural characteristics will enhance the beauty of your floor.
Be sure to ask about other textures that may be available including Circle Sawn, Skip Sawn, Draw Knife Distressed and Wire Brushed.
