Dynamic lines in this maple are thanks to the Ambrosia Beetle, which bores tiny tunnels that cause grey streaks. Overall, the colors will deepen when we apply tung oil. Credit for introducing us to this gorgeous flooring goes to Mark Reamer, craftsman extraordinaire. Pictured above is his brother, Dale, who contributed tremendously to the success of the installation. The wood was harvested within 50 miles of our house and purchased from Ghent Wood Products. Hauling the heavy load home proved too much for Chris’s trailer, which ended up being repaired at Columbia Tractor.
