Grade #3 cabin grade sold AS IS, no return and no warranty.
If you are looking for flooring at a great value and enjoy projects that may entail some extra labor, then #3 graded flooring may be the best option for you. Grade #3, Common 3, Utility, Cabin, Value Grade are all different names for the same grade flooring. It’s the lowest grade flooring after grades: Select, #1, Common1, #2, Common2.
It has a warm rustic cabin ambiance in oak consisting of small, large and pocket knots with veins running through it. Matching wood filler should be used to fill these knots (recommended filler Bona Pacific Filler). Expect the flooring boards to be random length ranging from less than 1 foot to 3 feet. Consider that there will be flaws in the flooring boards and that extra labor may be necessary. Flaws on your flooring may be amended simply by filling pocket knots with wood filler and squaring off insignificant cracks on the butt joint, short splits or broken tongue and grooves. Some boards may have an "x" marked on them. When boards are run through the mill, they are marked with an "x" to indicate that boards are a grade #3, common grade, or value grade. These boards do not qualify for Select down to #2 and that is why they are sold at lower prices. The “x” will be sanded off when finishing the floor. Please check out how beautiful this flooring can be when it’s finished in the pictures above.

I love how these floor turned out for the price but they were a lot of work. To give you an idea of my process. I sorted boards for any major flaws, nailed down, applied a wood putty (Woodwise Powdered Wood Filler) to the entire floor to fill in gaps, Sanded, Stained (Duraseal Quickseal Chestnut), and Sealed (Satin Bona HD)
I purchased about 1800sq ft of flooring. It arrived in unboxed strapped groups that were not even on a pallet. There was some damage due to shipping but not too bad. In the end, I used about 85-90% of all the boards. I only scrapped boards where the tongue or groove side was damaged (board was under 4" width in some places.). Things like knot holes I just filled with the putty.
I would highly recommend the putty that used. It is formulated to look like white oak and it takes stain really well.
Shipping was faster than expected! Customer service walking me through the process was exceptional. They answered all of my silly questions! My project is only in the beginning phase but so far very pleased with the product! This flooring is going to take a lot of extra work compared to a pre finished floor but but I believe the finished product will be better! Each piece has its own unique characteristics and I love it!
