French Oak is considered one of the most admirable wood species because it has higher tannin than any other Oak around the globe; the higher tannin reacts better in the aging process, giving it the exquisite patina and time worn look. We only select character grade French Oak as it has the most beautiful natural cracks, knots and tight wood grains that no other wood species can offer. Offered in planks 8-inch-wide and six-feet in length, and featuring an unusually deep 4mm thick sawn veneer for a lifetime of enjoyment. Feel free to reach out with any questions you have about our French Oak flooring. We would be happy to answer them for you. Photo taken in Beverly Hills, CA by Jim Bastardo: www.jimbastardo.com.
