Residential install in Wayzata, Minnesota with custom home builder John Kramer & Sons completed February 2026. We laid down 6,255 square feet of engineered European white oak in light rustic grade, with board lengths running 7 to 15 feet. Long lengths like these read calmer underfoot, with fewer end joints breaking up the floor in the larger rooms.
The color came from a custom stain mix we built on site: one part rustic beige, two parts weathered oak, and a quarter part ebony. The weathered oak does most of the work, cooling the natural yellow in white oak and pulling the floor toward a soft grey-brown. The rustic beige warms the base, and the small hit of ebony deepens the grain and the knots so they show up as character instead of disappearing into the field.
