Searching for Canadian walnut

by

Q: I am looking for 150-170 sq. ft. of the Canadian walnut we ran out of upon installation. It is dark chocolate in color, tavern grade- many short pcs. and knots. (the knots are not filled, which is what I prefer). It has an aluminum oxide semi-gloss finish, and is standard width and thickness. The grain is soft, compared to American walnut flooring.

If you can please help me with this, or recommend another company that I could contact, please let me know. I cannot find anything like this in Illinois. I would be very interested in samples if you have something that might work. Please reply.

A: I would suggest you contact Nicolas from Foresbec: http://www.foresfloor.com
