Species and technical standards

Portland wood species and technical restoration standards

From century-old Douglas Fir to modern White Oak. How owner Vasi approaches every wood species with NWFA standards and commercial Bona systems.

Portland Craftsman homes (1900–1940s)

Specialized soft-grain restoration without drum marks or orange pull

Portland's historic bungalows, foursquares, and Victorians feature native old-growth Douglas Fir. Because fir is a softwood with a 660 Janka rating, standard hardwood drum sanding can easily dish out the softer earlywood growth rings. We use precision multi-disc planetary sanders and drum feathering to keep planks dead-flat. To eliminate the heavy orange cast caused by traditional oil finishes, we apply specialized Bona sealers (NordicSeal or NaturalSeal) that keep the natural straw-honey wood tone fresh and clean without looking artificial.
