A hint of mystery.
A hint of mystery.
American black walnut is considered by many to be the domestic exotic. Warm chocolate tones are entwined with light sapwood to create a mysterious and welcoming floor.
At Allwood, we embrace the beauty and variation created by nature. Every plank is unique, which is one of the things we love about what we do. However, while every sample is created directly from production, and and every photo is color corrected as closely as we can, it is not possible to display all variations in color and character you may find in your floor. That’s why it important to approve the actual flooring before final installation, not just a small sample.
Special Note:
You may be familiar with grading terms like “character” and “select”. These refer to the amount (or lack) of knots in a plank, the straightness of the grain, and even the amount of sapwood. For instance, a Very-Charactered grade of floor will have a lot of knots or variation in its grain. While a Select floor will have almost none. But what most people do not know is that there are separate grading systems between the different wood species. And that the grading for Walnut is quite different from that of Oak. A Select-grade walnut floor can look much different from a Select-grade oak. This can get kind of confusing if you don’t know the different scales.
So even though our Walnut is technically a Select-grade by walnut standards, to keep things simple, we have chosen to use an oak grading scale and are calling it Character.
