    Thank you kathorb - the hardwood flooring is called Wormy Chestnut. It's beautiful. Best wishes.

    kathorb, Wormy Chestnut is essentially an extinct species. From "The Wood Database" -- "Wormy Chestnut is not a distinct species of Chestnut, but rather refers to American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) trees that were killed by the chestnut blight of the early 1900s, which were subsequently damaged by insects, leaving holes and discoloration in the standing trees. The trees were then subsequently harvested and converted into lumber.
    Because of the blight wiping out nearly all mature American Chestnut trees, its lumber is both rare and (relatively) valuable. Wormy Chestnut in particular is usually salvaged from old barns and other structures, and reprocessed and sold as reclaimed lumber." Such an awesome floor!!! I would personally love to have this... even over Black Walnut :-D

    Very, very pretty. Q: Can't we grow chestnut trees anymore?

    There is a university that is working on developing a strain that's resistant to "the blight" as it's often called.
