When matching to an antique floor, it is particularly important that you order flooring that will be milled from material that was cut at the same time as your existing floor. This means making sure that your new flooring is coming from original growth and not new growth trees. We also want to make sure that we match the species that you currently have.

This varies depending upon what part of the country you are in. Pressure Treated lumber is usually Hem-Fir in the West and Southern Yellow Pine in the East and South.

The heartwood of naturally durable species such as western red cedar, yellow cypress and white cedar will all resist decay to some degree, but it is variable. The amount and type of natural fungi-toxic chemicals deposited in the heartwood determine how durable the wood is. The sapwood of all species is considered non-durable. Heartwood of second growth may be less durable than the best of the old growth but probably less variable.

Choosing a species of wood involves more than selecting a color to match your décor. Different species of wood flooring will experience color changes at different rates. In general, more-common species such as oak and hickory will experience minimal color change over time, while less-common species, like cherry will show more color change over time.

Members of one species do not normally interbreed with members of other species in nature. Sometimes, members of different species, such as lions and tigers, can interbreed if kept together in captivity. But in nature, geographic isolation and differences in behavior, such as choice of habitat, keep these sorts of closely related animal species apart. Similarly, closely related species of plants can sometimes be hybridized by horticulturists, but these hybrids are rarely found in nature.
