8-12 Inch Wide Vintage American Wormy Chestnut Flooring
A true piece of American history. 100+ year old lumber reclaimed from old barns in West Virginia.
In the early 1900's, a fungus emerged and rapidly spread through America's Chestnut tree forests. By 1935, a good portion of the mature Chestnut trees were destroyed by the fungus. During this time the wood was considered inferior because of bore holes caused by an insect that invaded the diseased trees. To eliminate the spread of any futher tree disease, the trees were quickly milled into lumber for barns, fences, structure flooring, and siding.
