Use this grading guide below to help you understand what to expect in each grade and help you make your enviornment uniquely yours.
Highly selected boards delivering a relatively uniform look with minor colour and shade variations while still giving the rich look of natural wood. A few tiny closed sound knots and pin knots are expected but the overall look is knotless with a clean consistent look.
Moderate colour variation and shading with a rich natural wood look. A mixture of heart and sapwood with moderate amount of natural wood characteristics such as light mineral marks, small sound filled knots, pin knots and small splits.
Pronounced colour and shade variation from a mixture of heart and sapwood allowing unlimited amounts of natural wood characteristics for the most natural wood look. Mineral streaks, character marks, abnormal colour, splits, tool marks and worm holes are allowed. Knots of any size are allow as well as cracks but are filled to make them sound.
