STEAMED BIRCH

Steamed Birch calls northern Canada home - by the St. Lawrence Seaway, where the growing season is short, the temperatures are cool and the soil, perfect for this species to thrive. Color-wise, it's on the lighter side, with light reddish-brown heartwood giving way to a pale sapwood.

Shown here in Natural Wash with a 30 Gloss Urethane topcoat, but you decide on the look of your wood floor. Although wood's natural color always feels right to us, a wipe, wash or stir might be your choice. You decide width and length, too. And surface treatment - Hand Sculpted, Hand Scraped and the like. If a Gloss topcoat isn't for you, opt for the more subtle Hand-rubbed Oil or classic Wax finishes. Share your ideas with us. Together, we can achieve the floor that's yours alone.
