Texas Mesquite Wide Plank Flooring – The Foundation of Our Craft
When we began salvaging Texas Mesquite in 1998, it was virtually unknown in the hardwood flooring industry. Over the next two decades, we carved out a niche by handcrafting every board with unmatched precision and care. Our proprietary engineering process allowed us to manufacture wide plank Mesquite flooring — up to 8” wide and 10’ long — a breakthrough at the time.
Sustainably sourced from South Texas land designated for clearing, our Mesquite flooring embodied our three core values:
These values still define every floor we create today.
Why We’ve Transitioned Away from Texas Mesquite Wide Plank Flooring
While Texas Mesquite flooring shaped our identity, our clients' needs have evolved. Designers and homeowners now seek woods with broader aesthetic versatility. Mesquite, while rich in character, is visually bold and less adaptable to a wide range of interior styles.
That shift in preference has led us to focus on more aesthetically versatile hardwoods that still align with our core values but offer expanded design possibilities.
Our Signature Hardwood Wide Plank Flooring Collections Today
We are proud to offer three distinct wide plank collections that reflect where our craft has taken us:
A beautiful, sustainably sourced American hardwood with intricate grain patterns and warm tones — perfect for both rustic and refined designs.
Timeless and elegant, our French Oak offers exceptional versatility with options in natural, smoked, and custom finishes.
Known for its durability and clean aesthetic, this wood is ideal for modern, minimalist, or transitional interiors.
Each species is carefully selected and crafted by hand — just like we did with Mesquite — using time-honored techniques and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future of Our Wide Plank Flooring
Though we’ve transitioned away from Texas Mesquite wide plank flooring, it remains a vital part of our story. It taught us what true craftsmanship demands — and that legacy lives on in every board we create today.
We invite you to explore our current collections and discover a new generation of hardwood flooring that continues the spirit of excellence and innovation.
