A FEW MONTHS AGO, THIS MANUFACTURER CALLED TO TELL ME
OF A 360 WHISKY BARREL PURCHASE HE HAD COMPLETED IN CHICAGO AND WAS
TURNING THE WOODEN STAVES - MANUFACTURED IN THE 30'S - INTO
FLOORING. HE WANTED TO KNOW IF I HAD AN INTEREST IN HIS UNIQUE
PRODUCT..IT TURNED OUT THE BARRELS CAME FROM A WAREHOUSE
OWNED BY AL CAPONE. WOOD WITH HISTORY!!
I TRULY APPRECIATE THE RECYCLED WOOD OFFERINGS
FROM THIS COMPANY! PLEASE REVIEW THEIR CATALOGUE.
These floors are great! BUT generally
the cost per square foot - depending
on the width of the plank and
the type of wood - can be between $8.00 to $15.00 per square foot.
YOUR WOOD MIGHT HAVE COME FROM THE SKATING RINK FLOOR
YOU
USED IN THE DISTANT PAST OR FROM A BARN PASSED ON
THE HIGHWAY
DURING A TRIP SOUTH YEARS AGO. ALL PLANKS ARE RANDOM
WIDTHS.
EACH PIECE OF WOOD SHOWS THE YEARS OF ABUSE AND USE.
THE TIME WORN FEATURES GIVE IT CHARACTER AND UNIQUENESS.
OTHER INFORMATION BELOW. VISIT OUR SHOWROOM TO SEE
ACTUAL PRODUCT. PLEASE DON'T EXPECT ANY OF THE WOOD
TO BE
EXACT MATCHES..THIS WOOD COMES WITH WORM HOLES AND
KNOTS.
ALWAYS PURCHASE 10% MORE WOOD THEN NEEDED.
WE HAVE NEVER STAINED THE FLOORS, ONLY CLEAR
COATED THEM TO ALLOW THEIR RICH COLOR AND GRAINING
TO COME THROUGH.. IF THE FLOORS ARE SCRATCHED IT
IS VERY EASY TO APPLY THE CLEAR TOUCH-UP.
CALL US IF YOU REQUIRE MORE INFORMATION.
CAN YOU VISIT US?
WE HAVE FLOOR SAMPLES ON DISPLAY.
