BLACKFOREST COLLECTION

Fashioned after the plank flooring found in the old world castles of the black forest region of Europe, Graf Brothers flooring has selected the widest and longest boards available in order to replicate the craftsmanship of those olden days. Our skilled craftsmen hand scrape, hand sand, and hand finish each piece to create the timeless quality of that era. In today's world of mass production, The Blackforest Old World Plank Collection offers true handcrafted options for your castle.
