The pictures below are just a snapshot of a lovely floor that was done with our exclusive V3 9" Character Rift & Quartered WHITE OAK Flooring. Typically with such wide planks you would be worried about eventual cupping and/or gapping with the boards but with our V3 engineered line there is no need to worry. We've successfully tested our planks up to 12" wide with no problems! To help ease your mind a little though, Schafer Hardwood guarantees your floors FOR LIFE (not that you'll need it)!
