VOLVER :: project feature
VOLVER RESTAURANT FEATURING RIVERBED WHITE OAK
Volvér (which means “to return”) opened its doors inside the Kimmel Center April of 2014. The restaurant features a chic bar and intimate dining area, and showcases the culinary talents of one of the country’s leading chefs and restaurateurs, Jose Garces.
Marguerite Rodgers Ltd. designed the serene and welcoming space, incorporating our RIVERBED white oak flooring into the final design. The firm is often praised for its incredible attention to composition and detail.
RIVERBED features our original cut white oak. original cut is a way of cutting the log that incorporates plain sawn, rift sawn and quarter sawn grain patterns and all grades and character marks into the final product. common character marks include knots, checks, streaks and worm holes. RIVERBED is prefinished with matte polyurethane.

WIDE PLANK :: flooring
wide plank flooring is a timeless and elegant flooring feature commonly found within late 19th century homes. due to the advanced age of trees during this time, thicker trunks provided ready access to wide planks. while almost all types of wood can be milled this way, the thinner, younger trees we see today do not lend as well to this type of flooring, making wide plank flooring less common.
reSAWN provides a wide plank option in almost all of our flooring designs. Most of our designs are available up to 8″ wide with some available up to 10″ wide – please contact us to inquire about a specific design. these wider cut boards reveal even more of the wood’s natural beauty as the uninterrupted grains and patterns flow seamlessly through the plank.

RECLAIMED BEAMS
RECLAIMED BEAMS from reSAWN TIMBER co.
rough sawn and hand-hewn reclaimed oak and pine beams serve not only as unique feature pieces, but also come with a rich and varied history. this aged wood is ideal for the creation of rustic mantles, shelving, structural posts, and trusses.
reSAWN provides beautiful, reclaimed barn beams in the raw – including original hand-hewn pieces. hand-hewing is the process of transforming a tree trunk into a squared up beam. traditionally the broad-axe was used for scoring and for hewing larger pieces of lumber.
Reclaimed beams go thru the typical reclaimation process of denailed and power washing. no finish is needed for this wood since it has been naturally oxidized over the years to produce a tough, weather resistant “skin”. common character marks include circle sawn kerf, mineral staining, color changes, weathering, checking, nail holes, knots, notched out pockets and heavy patina. thicknesses tend to vary slightly.
