Our expertise
As a local hardwood supplier with a worldwide reach, the Graf Brothers name is synonymous with the hardwood lumber industry and is proud to have three generations to help build the name and reputation.
Forestry and sourcing
Our oaks are sourced from selectively harvested stands in the hardwood forests of Eastern North America (Appalachians, Ohio Valley, Missouri). We ensure that every log comes from operations that strictly follow sustainable forestry practices as defined by local and state authorities.
Lumber
American white oak (Quercus alba) combines excellent mechanical strength, natural watertightness, and unique aromatic potential, making it the wood of choice for cooperage, fine furniture, and sustainable construction.
Responsibly harvested in the hardwood forests of the Eastern North America (Appalachians, Ohio Valley, Missouri), American white oak is a material of high ecological and heritage value.
Solid Oak Flooring
American white oak is an emblematic species, renowned for its timeless beauty and exceptional strength. Carved from a single piece of wood, Graf Brothers solid flooring reveals the full nobility of this rare material: refined grain, luminous color, and a naturally warm texture.
Engineered Oak Flooring
Graf Brothers engineered flooring embodies the very best of American craftsmanship, dedicated to high-end interiors.
Each board bears the signature of a carefully selected, meticulously crafted, and expertly finished wood — shaped with uncompromising standards, in harmony with nature and the passing of time.
