Appearance
Amberwood's grain is iridescent, extremely fine and even. It is a very hard and good wearing wood.
Specifications
Unfinished and prefinished 3 1/4" x 3/4" solid hardwood flooring.
No stains used.
Lengths
The lengths on this flooring can be considered shorter than normal
which results from a lot of natural defects being cut out of long
boards to provide wood with no worm holes or mineral staining.
An average length of 30" to 34" is common with lengths ranging from
12"
to 84".
Color change over time
When freshly sanded and finished this
floor will appear very pink with light yellow streaks running like flames
through the length of the boards. With time the pink will
change to an orangey yellow to give an
overall amber floor.
Finishing
This wood is easy to finish and does not require any special
treatment. Oil-based finishes create a more attractive floor
when use on this species rather than water-based finishes.
