Rustic Hickory is a great compliment to Traditional design styles.

What is Rustic Hickory?

Rustic is a Grade of flooring that has a wide color variance in color plus some visual defects which all add to the flooring’s distressed look. This kind of flooring works really well with traditional interior design styles.

Lots of hardwood flooring may claim to be unique. However, with the unique blend of creamy white sapwood and brown to reddish brown heartwood, you will know right away that a floor made of Rustic Hickory is truly distinct.

Hickory has a Janka hardness rating of 1820. This level of strength has made hickory durable enough to be used for golf club shafts and many other high impact tools and goods.

Wood of the Week

Ambrosia Maple

An Ambrosia Maple floor is truly memorable.

Perfect for rustic and traditional homes, Ambrosia Maple flooring creates captivating spaces. I don’t think it’s far fetched to say that you’ll be telling the story of your floor to every person who sees it for the first time. What makes Ambrosia Maple so special?

Each plank of Ambrosia Maple has been touched by life itself. When the Ambrosia beetle makes it home in a maple tree, it leaves a trail that creates the wormy pattern. It is this wormy maple pattern in Soft Maple lumber that creates such a lasting impression.

Many people ask whether the tiny holes left by the Ambrosia beetle compromise the wood in any way. The answer is no. Once the wood is finished, those holes are filled in and add to the wood’s overall appeal. With beautiful brown and grey stripes, the small worm holes act as accents and really do look great.

At Advantage, we hand-pick the best Ambrosia maple lumber by hand. By picking best looking wormy maple, you can have a floor that is a true conversation piece.
