Unfinished Solid Domestic Hardwood Flooring
Unfinished solid domestic hardwood flooring gives flooring professionals control over the final color, sheen and surface appearance of a project. The flooring is installed unfinished, then sanded, stained and finished on site. This makes it possible to coordinate the floor with existing woodwork, create a custom stain color or produce a continuous finish across adjoining rooms.

Compare Domestic Hardwood Species and Cuts
White Oak Flooring
Unfinished solid White Oak flooring is a versatile choice with familiar oak grain, a neutral natural color and broad staining flexibility. Plain sawn boards typically display a mix of cathedral grain and straighter grain patterns, making this collection suitable for traditional, transitional and contemporary interiors.
Rift & Quartered White Oak Flooring
Unfinished solid Rift & Quartered White Oak flooring is selected for its straighter grain, dimensional stability and distinctive quarter-sawn figure. The mix of rift-sawn and quarter-sawn boards creates a refined appearance while retaining the natural variation expected from genuine hardwood.
Live Sawn White Oak Flooring
Unfinished solid Live Sawn White Oak flooring highlights a wider range of the log's natural grain and character. Live sawn flooring can include cathedral grain, straight grain, knots and mineral variation, producing a substantial, character-forward floor that works especially well with wider planks.
Red Oak Flooring
Unfinished solid Red Oak flooring offers pronounced grain, warm natural color and dependable staining versatility. It is available in multiple grades for projects ranging from cleaner, more uniform floors to installations that emphasize knots, color variation and natural character.
Hickory, Hard Maple and Ash Flooring
Unfinished solid Hickory flooring is known for bold grain and strong natural contrast between lighter sapwood and darker heartwood. Unfinished solid Hard Maple flooring provides a lighter, cleaner appearance with subtle grain and a dense surface. Unfinished solid Ash flooring combines a light natural tone with a more visible grain pattern, making it a useful option when the project calls for a bright floor with defined wood texture.
Walnut and American Cherry Flooring
Unfinished solid American Walnut flooring features naturally rich brown color, flowing grain and noticeable heartwood-to-sapwood variation. Unfinished solid American Cherry flooring begins with warm reddish and golden tones that deepen naturally over time. Both species are often chosen when natural color and visual warmth are central to the design.
Birch, Beech and Pine Flooring
Unfinished solid Birch flooring offers light color with natural contrast and variation between boards. Unfinished solid Beech flooring has a fine, consistent texture and a warm, understated appearance. Unfinished solid Pine flooring provides a softer, more rustic look with visible knots and grain that can suit historic, farmhouse and character-focused projects.
Compare Grades, Widths and Lengths
Each species collection is organized to help you compare the grades, widths and length structures currently available. Select & Better grades generally provide a cleaner appearance with fewer character features, while Common and Character grades allow more knots, color variation, mineral streaks and other natural markings. Grade standards and visual expectations can vary by species and mill, so review the specifications on the individual product page before ordering.
Board width also changes the appearance and installation requirements of a floor. Narrower widths create more seams and a traditional strip-floor look, while wider planks place greater emphasis on each board's grain and color. Length options vary by product and may include standard random lengths, longer-length sorts and fixed or specified length ranges.
Planning an Unfinished Solid Hardwood Flooring Project
Before ordering, confirm the installation method, subfloor type, jobsite conditions, moisture requirements, acclimation plan and recommended waste allowance with the flooring professional responsible for the project. Wider planks, specialty cuts and longer-length products can have additional installation or lead-time considerations. Product samples can help evaluate natural color, grain and grade characteristics, but every unfinished hardwood floor will contain variation from board to board.
