California Native Hardwood Flooring:
Tan Oak and Madrone

Our Tan Oak and Madrone flooring products are second to none. Our Tan Oak and Madrone flooring products are traditional ¾" tongue and groove flooring equal to any domestic hardwood flooring product. They are solid wood through and through, not a skin laminated onto some other substrate, and not a pre-finished mass produced import. Our products are West Coast Natives produced here in Whitethorn from the log to the final product.

Competitive pricing, long term durability and beautiful color offer attractive alternatives to an ordinary oak look. Our flooring is offered in both strip and plank designs with precision butt cut ends. Tan Oak has a Janka scale hardness rating of 1400, Madrone is 1460. Eastern Red Oak is 1010 and White Oak is 1360. Proper drying and precision manufacturing make our flooring a seamless installation with built in longevity.

Our flooring has been purchased by contractors and homeowners all over the western states. Our customers are often educated, leading edge creative individuals who are conscious of the importance of nature in their lives. They are often committed to economic activities that create sustainable relationships with the ecosystem of which we are a part. Our products clearly merit consideration from discerning individuals.
