Beech Hardwood Flooring - Pics Please

12 years ago

Anyone have any experience with an unfinished rustic beech hardwood flooring? My wife and I settled on this as she feels hickory is too rustic, but I wanted some charm of tight knots and holes. Let me know if you have had any experiences with this wood, good or bad. Also, please attach some photo's if you have them.

Some time ago I was involved in producing several truckloads of high grade beech flooring in New England. There was some lower quality lumber left over which we ran the into a rustic grade flooring. Some of the employees installed the rustic for themselves and were very pleased. Sorry no pictures, but it did look nice.
Beech tends to shrink and swell more than most other species.
