Laurelwood (Myrtle) Hardwood Flooring
Item #:
GMWL
Unfinished Solid | Northwest Native Hardwood Floor
Known as Bay Laurel in California or Myrtle in Oregon. Another stunningly unique wood that has its own distinct look. More like stone than wood. Cool colored with a lot of varied hues, from slate grey to chocolate browns, golds, creams and even a blue-ish tone. Great figured grain around knots and burls, almost three dimensional. We offer only a character grade in the Laurelwood.
Quality is Green Mountain Woodwork's first priority. Their lumber is carefully milled and kiln dried to produce a straight and
stress-free floor board. Hand selected for grade, it is then moulded with a low offset tongue and groove for a
deeper wear layer. Their mill’s technicians maintain precise tolerances throughout the production process to
assure a tight, long length, clean fitting floor that makes installation quick and easy.

ECO-STATUS
We think that where your wood comes from is just as important a factor in determining what you choose for your home as is color, grain, hardness and price. For that reason, we list each of our woods with it's "ECO-STATUS", to help you make good decisions about the qualities of your materials.
Laurelwood Plank Flooring's Eco-Status is:
NW NATIVE - Woods which are native to and manufactured within our Northwest Eco-Region. We've worked for years with the non-profit Sustainable Northwest's Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities partnership to encourage ecologically responsible and restorative forestry across our region, on both public and private forest lands.
