Immensely popular with large retailers, designers, and homeowners, this Tan Oak product from Pioneer sold out of its original inventory within a few months of its introduction.
"One of the challenging aspects of crafting flooring out of hard-to-find wood is that there's not an infinite supply," said Jered Slusser, of Pioneer Millworks.
"One of the advantages we have over others is our experienced, full-time wood acquisitions team that does nothing but source antique and recycled wood. So, we are fortunate to have acquired such a large inventory."
Years of farm duty and exposure to the elements give the flooring a deep, tan hue, prominent grain patterns, textural interest, and the occasional reminder of its past life; character not found in fresh sawn oak. Rather than sending the oak planks to pasture, Pioneer reclaimed as much as they could source, and re-milled them into this Limited Edition floor.
Slusser continues, "The non-commodity nature of our products is one of the reasons our customers choose us; they like that our products aren't sold at big box stores; they love that their floor has its own story to tell; and they appreciate that reclaimed flooring uses existing materials, helping to conserve fragile natural resources."
Tan Oak is available as a pre-finished (aluminum oxide) solid wood floor in single width, random lengths, and is entirely sourced and crafted in the USA. Pricing starts at $7.50 sq. ft. plus shipping. Pre-orders are being taken now for August through fall delivery, while supplies last.
