Mixed Hardwood | Unfinished Solid | Reclaimed
The durability, beauty and history of Trailblazer Mixed Hardwood T&G flooring make it one of our favorites.
Trailblazer flooring comes from timbers that early American settlers hand cut from the trees they cleared from their property. These settlers often did not discriminate between species - if a timber was good and solid, they used it. In the same spirit of resourcefulness, all solid hardwood boards generated from sawing Trailblazer timbers are used to produce Trailblazer flooring.
Trailblazer T&G Flooring is available in random widths, 3-7".

Utah's Great Salt Lake is the address of the historic Lucin Cutoff Railroad Trestle and
its tens of millions of board feet of Douglas Fir timbers and piling
and Redwood decking. Of course, the bulk of those rail lines
were built during the mining and lumber booms at the beginning of the
century, and are now sitting derelict. Thanks to the efforts of Trestlewood Lumber, the wood of the trestle is being
reclaimed and reused.
Now you can have a piece of that history in
your home. Trestlewood carefully tear down trestles and warehouses which have
passed their safe lifetime. Then, they re-mill the lumber into
beautiful floors and roof beams full of character. They offer white and
yellow pine and fir timber, and the colors of the wood are the unique
product of a hundred years of summer heat, soaking in saltwater, or
being stained by iron nails -- truly unmatched in new wood.
From spike holes in resawn timbers to
the unique coloring of flooring produced from "pickled" piling, the
wood reclaimed from the trestle bears the stamp of the Great Salt Lake.
This wood is now as much a product of the Great Salt Lake as it is of
the forests from which it was originally cut.
