A rare find… Legally harvested Butternut, and it is being turned into wide plank flooring!
This lumber is typically not available because of being a protected species. You are not supposed to cut it for any reason, however the owners of a property that is becoming a subdivision obtained one time approval to clear for home building and Merv jumped at the opportunity to work with this very rare wood.
It is a unique lumber with small worm holes randomly throughout. When you want a floor with a high degree of character this flooring will fit the bill. Nobody will know if it is antique lumber or not.
The photos above show it’s natural color with only a clear finish applied. This butternut flooring will not last long. Give Merv a call for pricing.
Here is a lift of very wide planks ready to be put down in a house…they look to me like 1×10 boards.
I believe there is about 15,000 square feet of this Butternut flooring available–after that, there is no more, so if you are building a custom home, get in touch with Merv or Lisa!
