How a board is cut from the log determines its grain pattern, stability, and price. Here’s a breakdown of the two most common cuts:
Flatsawn Boards: Cut with growth rings roughly parallel to the face, creating a distinct flame-like grain pattern.
Quartersawn Boards: Characterized by a straight grain with growth rings perpendicular to the face, offering a unique aesthetic at a higher cost.
There are two common types of oak species used for flooring, red and white, and oak in general is one of the most preferred wood species for homeowners and contractors alike. Durable, attractive, and reasonably priced, oak is highly sought after because of its reliability and how it can easily be stained to match a client’s preferences. Oak flooring also has a naturally strong grain pattern, which is very helpful in masking surface damage such as dents, cracks, and scratches.
Mills categorize each flooring piece based on defects such as knots and color variations, with fewer defects indicating higher quality and higher cost. It’s important to note that what constitutes a defect varies across wood species.
