"Bold ways with wood floors"

This guy will mill almost anything into flooring:

He lists a dozen or so species as "stock".

Actually, he's got 35 species in stock, although not all are suitable for flooring. The "Lapacho" he lists is Ipe, yellow dust and all.

CWG is one of the places I get my wood from.

flooring and offer many different species. The one problem I have is that people get too confused when you show them too much. I've actually sold flooring of all species we carry to be mixed randomly throughout the entire floor. It looks awesome in the right house. You can also get some good deals from the supplier this way. It helps clean up all those packs of this and that that tend to accumulate. Jana

Got any photos?

Thanks, Barry
