Single-Origin French Oak
French Oak has long been recognized as the premium Oak choice due to its superior fine grain structure, color, and high tannin content. Monarch Plank’s Artisans Preferred Unfinished French Oak is ‘single-origin,’ sourced exclusively from the Burgundy region, making it the ideal platform for advanced finishing techniques such as tannin-reactive stains. We are as particular about our Oak sourcing as the finest wine barrel manufacturers.
Monarch Plank’s Artisans Preferred Unfinished Flooring is built to our strictest standards, using only the highest quality materials such as single-origin French Oak to create the perfect canvas for your crafstman’s brush.
