Townsend Reclaimed Wormy Chestnut Flooring

An American classic, Townsend is characterized by an elegant patina of aged chestnut with a smooth, satin finish. Originally one of the most popular building materials for American homes, chestnut has all but disappeared due to a chestnut blight in the early 1900s and can now only be sourced through reclaiming historic structures. Here tung oil, first used to waterproof naval ships in the 14th century, penetrates deep into the pores of this rare wood and enhances its warm golden tones while providing a durable and radiant product.
