Once the wood has dried, it is precisely sawn to the desired thickness, for a optional look and : A solid HARDWOOD floor look Color variations, uniformity and natural grain beauty of the species are preserved No repetitive patterns, each board is unique Ultra-thick wear layer ( mm to mm) Can be sanded and refinished multiple times if required Smooth and splice-free surface Less stress to the wood Very high performance quality product ROTARY PEELINGI nvolves boiling the log for a certain amount of time at a certain temperature to prepare the wood. After the wood has been prepared, it is scraped from the log with a blade working from the outside in following a rotary motion.
