Quarter Sawn Hardwood Flooring

What is Quarter Sawn Hardwood?

If you should happen to reside in areas that were developed in the early to mid part of the 20th century chances are you'll find many quarter sawn hardwood floors. They are by far the most stunning looking of any hardwoods in the way they are cut from the logs themselves. Why is quarter sawn hard to come by today? Costs are high to manufacture and waste is higher than lumber mills would prefer. Characteristics of quarter sawn hardwoods include wavy grain patterns and a near three dimensional effect once finished as seen in some of the room photos below.. High end furniture makers demand this type of cut for their clientele.

Priced by the square foot, you won't find any of these at a carpet store. The manufacturer Tesoro Woods is highly regarded in terms of quality and appearance.
