"Have you ever examined timber floorboards and pondered why they look the way
they do? Perhaps you admired the super-fine grain, a stunning red hue or a
swirling knot, and wondered how it came to be?
Or perhaps you don’t know what tree species your floorboards are made from, and
how to best look after them?
Finely polished floorboards reveal detail about the timber that can be much
harder to detect in unpolished boards or other sawn timbers.
“Reading” the knots, stubs and other characteristics of floorboards can reveal
what type of tree produced it and how it grew. It can also reveal fascinating
details about the lives of the trees they once were."
