Probably an undersold species. Ash has a bold grain similar to Oak. The colours vary from a creamy white to a light tan to dark brown. It is 2% harder than red oak (Janka 1320) and 26% more stable dimensionally.

Oak has a bold porous open grain with a reddish brown or tan colour. Oak is used for the benchmark for hardness in hardwood flooring (Janka 1290).

Grades

Select and Better is uniform in colour and longer in lengths. The wood is usually from the outside of the log (sapwood). The light colour makes smaller rooms appear larger.

Mill-run has an attractive mix of natural colours from the sapwood and heartwood with all colour variations accepted. This grade may contain small sound knots. Pieces are usually shorter in length than select and better but the average length is not to be less than 33”.

Rustic flooring provides a floor just as the name describes. Knots are permitted and all the colours in the wood are permitted. This floor is very serviceable and a favourite of many.

Red Birch is a specialty item produced from the heartwood of yellow birch. It is close in colour to cherry but doesn’t darken as much. It is 24% harder than cherry and makes a beautiful floor.
