American Chestnut — Engineered

Engineered — a thick reclaimed wear layer over a dimensionally-stable core, so this same face goes down over concrete, radiant heat or a basement slab without cupping, in wider widths and longer lengths. The wood the blight took. Once a quarter of the Eastern forest, American chestnut hasn't come from living timber in generations — every board is salvage. Warm honey-brown, light for its strength, and often 'wormy' with the pinholes that make it unmistakable. As close to irreplaceable as reclaimed wood gets. Available in a range of widths and grades — tell me the square footage and the room and I'll source it and grade it to match.
