Wood Sanding and Finishing Cambridge UK: Black Walnut Wood from a Hurricane

If we were ever at a loss on things to say about wood flooring, here is the be all and end all.

In March of 2015, this image made it around the world and virally infected our inspirations. Facebook shares topped 20,000 within a month and until now the photograph has been viewed almost 2 million times. Heck, I keep clicking because I almost can't believe it.

The story behind the wood is a testament to recycling and natural wonders. The black walnut wood was the result of a hurricane's force (2011), uprooting the Goliath and depositing it for the Real Antique Wood Company of Irvington, New Jersey to make something spectacular.

The resulting project went on to win the Wood Floor of the Year Award this year and there's little surprise there.

I simply can't keep my eyes from the black trails that guide you all the way around the house.

We're not in the installation business...yet, but if we were, this would certainly be the kind of job we would look to do. Those rich, deep colours, the knots and swirls; they make wood floor sanding a really worthwhile career.

Now, while we haven't had the pleasure of sanding hurricane felled forestry, we have had the joy of sanding the floors at a British National Institution - Norwich cathedral.
