Wood Face Finish Options:

(Additional pictures are available upon request)

 

Rougher-head (RH) face:  Add $.30 SF

 This finish is commonly used as the least expensive method of creating a textured appearance with minimal variations.  May be finished with or without a light sand. You should plan on 3+ coats of finish to provide a smooth, durable flooring surface.

 

Circular-sawn (C/S) face: Add $.40 SF

(Not available in USA Blue Ponderosa Pine)    Optional drum sanding is available.

 This rough-cut product is reminiscent of the old days.  The surface shows the curvature of the large sawmill blade as it cuts through the face of the wood.  Due to the rustic nature of the face finish, we recommend that you sand the coarse fibers off which leaves the character and depth of the product.   Plan on 5-7 coats of finish which creates depth and an extremely durable surface.

Wire-brushed (WB) face: Add $.60 SF for 1x6 or 1x8     Optional drum sanding is available.

                        This finish is provides more depth than that which can be obtained with our Rougher-head finish.  Wire brushes are used to create texture and character with highs and lows defined by the density of the wood as the brush runs across the surface.  This finish should be lightly sanded (we provide a drum sanding service for additional charges as noted below, or it can be done on site.)  Plan on 3-4 finish coats to seal and provide a smooth and very durable flooring surface.  

                                                                                          

 

Re-sawn/Band-sawn (RS) face: Add $.50 SF          Optional drum sanding is available.       

 This rough-cut face is much more moderate in texture than the Circular-sawn product above and has far less character.  It is far more commonly used for the wood face finish in siding products.

Plan on a very light sand to remove course fibers and 3-4 clear coats  to provide a smooth flooring surface. 

    

Skip-planed Circular-sawn (SPCS) face: Add $.60 SF

(Not available in USA Blue Ponderosa Pine)            Optional drum sanding is available.

This has become a very popular product.  It combines “the old with the new”, and as a moderately textured finish, helps blend in normal wear and tear, as well as hide damage when it occurs.  We recommend a light sanding and then applying 3-5 clear coats to provide a smooth flooring surface.  These heavy coats create a very durable surface and perform very well in preventing damage from heavy traffic, gravel; pets, etc. (Please request additional photos of finished floor appearances.)

  

Square-blade Hewn (SBH) face: Add $.75 SF                                                      

This finish is reminiscent of old fashioned flooring that could only be smoothed of the rough surface by hewing Circular-sawn Rough-cut boards down with a square bladed finishing tool or draw knife with a narrow blade. Generally we avoid hewing the edges of the boards at the T&G, but we can run randomly into the edges to provide an even more ‘rustic, yet elegant’ appearance.  All hewing is done with hand tools and thus provides a random hewn appearance.

 

 

 Curved-blade Hewn (CBH) face: Add $.75 SF                                               

This finish is similar to some of the old Amish hand-scraped wood surface finishes, though we use a wider curved blade to lightly cut the profile seen at right into the face of the board.  Generally we avoid hewing the edges of the boards at the T&G, but we can run randomly into the edges to provide an even more ‘rustic, yet elegant’ appearance.  All hewing is done with hand tools and thus provides a random hewn appearance.
