Country Plank - Rustic Grade American Black Cherry Hardwood Flooring

One of the most popular domestic woods for furniture making, this wood was extensively used since early days. Beginning as a pale pink-ish tan color, Cherry quickly turns a warm reddish brown with the sapwood remaining creamy beige for contrast. We carefully choose the face with the most red for the top of each plank to minimize the huge color variation between heartwood and sapwood inherent in Cherry and then steam the planks prior to kiln drying to provide a more consistent finished product. With an oil based finish, Cherry develops a wonderful deep warm color that makes it the most inviting of all wood floors.

Select & Better Grade (NOFMA):
Available in solid planks or engineered planks by special order, unfinished, or factory pre-finished with a micro bevel on the solid planks or square edge on the engineered planks. This plain sawn grade is virtually free of knots, with some gum pockets and the characteristic warmth of Cherry and a more uniform deeper color, to enhance a formal design style.

Select & Better Rift & Quarter Sawn (NOFMA):

Available in solid planks or engineered planks by special order, unfinished, or factory pre-finished with a micro bevel on the solid planks or square edge on the engineered planks. This grade is virtually free of knots, with some gum pockets, a uniform color and is hand selected for straight grain. With the characteristic warmth of Cherry and the most even color and grain, this option is suitable for the most formal applications.

Country Grade (NOFMA #1 Common):

Available in solid planks or engineered planks by special order; unfinished, or factory pre-finished with a micro bevel on the solid planks or square edged on the engineered planks. This plain sawn grade has most of the naturally occurring wood character remaining such as knots, gum pockets, distinct color variations and varying grain patterns that add to its popular appeal. This option is adaptable to a variety of design styles where the warmth of Cherry is desired.

Rustic Grade (NOFMA #2 & 3 Common & Better):
Available in solid unfinished planks only, plain sawn, with more of the naturally occurring wood characteristics remaining such as larger and more frequent knots, gum pockets, distinct color variations and varying grain patterns than Country Grade. This grade is suited to a more relaxed setting and is also available with any of our custom surface treatments applied.
