Unfinished hardwood gives you the freedom to create a floor that fits your space exactly the way you envision it—letting the natural beauty of the wood take center stage. That’s why Olson Floor Supply continues to expand its offerings in this category.

The newest addition? Merrick Hardwood Flooring—now available in Select Red Oak and Select White Oak. Both options come unfinished, rich in character, and ready for customization. Designed with versatility in mind, Merrick is ideal for anyone who wants to start with a blank canvas and finish their hardwood floor their own way.

A Natural Addition to Olson’s Unfinished Hardwood Line

Unfinished hardwood has long been a favorite at Olson Floor Supply—for remodelers, contractors, and homeowners alike. It offers more flexibility when it comes to stain, color, and finish, making it a go-to option for custom projects. With Merrick now part of the collection, customers have another solid choice that blends quality craftsmanship with natural beauty.

Merrick floors are authentic, solid hardwood—not engineered and not pre-finished. What you get is a clean, unfinished surface ready for customization, built on carefully selected material chosen for its strength, uniformity, and appearance. It’s hardwood the way it’s meant to be—simple, raw, and ready for your vision.

What Sets Merrick Floors Apart?

At Olson Floor Supply, quality starts with material—and Merrick delivers from forest to floor.

Appalachian Hardwood Heritage:

Merrick Hardwoods sources its hardwood directly from the Appalachian region—an area celebrated for producing dense, tight-grained wood with long-lasting structural integrity. These slow‑grown trees result in flooring that is both beautiful and durable. Merrick is recognized as one of the largest U.S. manufacturers of Appalachian hardwood lumber and flooring, ensuring consistent quality from the source to your home 

Precision Crafted with Vertical Integration:

What makes Merrick unique is its vertically integrated manufacturing process. From owning timberlands and operating sawmills to kiln drying, milling, and producing flooring, Merrick controls every step. This full‑control model supports tight quality oversight and craftsmanship that stands out in every plank.

Forest‑Friendly Practices:

Merrick isn't just about premier hardwood; it's also committed to sustainability. The company manages its own forests with long‑term stewardship plans and adheres to independent standards that significantly exceed basic softwood harvesting rules. Their efforts support a net positive impact on forest health and environmental accountability

What's the Difference? Red Oak vs. White Oak

Merrick Select Red Oak offers a warm, rich tone with a distinctive grain pattern that brings classic character to any space. It takes stain exceptionally well and is a great fit for traditional or transitional interiors. If you're after that timeless hardwood look and feel, Red Oak is a go-to choice.

Merrick Select White Oak, on the other hand, leans cooler in tone with a tighter, more uniform grain. It's slightly heavier than Red Oak and stains beautifully across the full spectrum—from light, natural finishes to deep, dark tones. White Oak is especially well-suited for modern and contemporary spaces looking for a clean, refined aesthetic.

Why Choose Merrick?

Merrick isn’t flashy...and that’s the point! It’s about offering solid, well-milled unfinished hardwood that serves as a blank canvas for your vision. Whether you’re blending with existing floors or starting fresh with something bold, Merrick gives you the freedom to customize and the quality to make sure it stands the test of time.
