Introducing the Terra Collection
The Terra Collection showcases the highest level of hardwood flooring craft in North America. It is our most honest, least tampered with collection of hardwood floors. American White Oak, Black Walnut, and Eastern White ash are all featured here.
Unrefined, undisturbed, unblemished.
The American Oak tree is a legend, and the material it produces is exceptional in every way. Strong, durable, beautiful, and majestic in size. These trees are native to the north and the central United States and grow up to 130 feet tall producing long, straight logs that are then crafted into beautiful flooring planks.
The American White Ash is close to extinction due to the Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive species that has taken hold in the North American forests. The urgency to utilize this material lies in a tree’s ability to capture carbon from the atmosphere. If left to decay the carbon is released back into the air which leads to warming of the atmosphere. Turning dead trees into flooring and furniture is the best way to keep carbon from entering the atmosphere.
American black walnut has been favored by furniture makers and craftsmen for centuries for its incredible color, dynamic grain pattern, and workability. Though softer than oak and ash, black walnut can be crafted into amazing floor planks and is favored in herringbone, chevron, and another more traditional parquet.
