Tamarack
Flooring
Tamarack (Eastern Larach) is
a very dense wood that grows throughout North America. It is found in
nutrient
poor bogs and other wet poorly drained sites. Tamarack wood
is light brown in color with a pleasing variegated pattern from brown
to green, resulting from the contrast in color between the
early
sapwood and prominent late wood.
Tamarack is the hardest of the softwoods and makes
a durable and impressive looking floor. With its wild variations
of colors and its unique grain, it has become a perfect flooring
product to use in log homes and cabins. It has also become very
popular in new home construction, as the builing trend has gone
back to that old country style with wide plank flooring and traditional
decor.
