Homerwood Premium Hardwood: Authentic Amish Craftsmanship
Discover the artisan beauty of Homerwood at Whole Wood. We provide direct access to these handcrafted, American-made wide-plank collections at the best warehouse prices in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Homerwood is more than just flooring; it is a piece of American heritage. Each plank is meticulously hand-crafted by skilled Amish artisans in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Unlike mass-produced brands, Homerwood specializes in "Character Grade" flooring, which preserves the natural knots, mineral streaks, and grain variations that give a floor its soul. At Whole Wood, we bring this level of bespoke quality to our San Carlos showroom, offering luxury residential and commercial clients a truly unique foundation for their space.
The Homerwood Distinction: Hand-Selected Artistry
What sets Homerwood apart is a commitment to the "Original Character" of the wood:
- Amish Hand-Crafted: Every artisan-style plank is individually scraped and finished by hand, ensuring that no two boards are identical.
- Preserved Natural Character: Homerwood intentionally retains the beautiful imperfections of the wood, such as burls and natural holes, which are typically discarded by high-volume manufacturers.
- Massive Custom Widths: Homerwood offers expansive wide planks (up to 8" and 10") in both solid and high-stability engineered formats.
- Made in the USA: From forest to floor, Homerwood supports domestic timber and traditional American craftsmanship.
Explore Homerwood’s Signature Styles
Hand-Crafted Character Collection
This is Homerwood’s flagship line. These floors feature deep, hand-scraped textures and chiseled edges that evoke the feel of a historic estate. It is the perfect choice for traditional San Francisco Victorians or rustic-modern Napa retreats.
Simplicity Series
For a cleaner, more contemporary aesthetic, the Simplicity series offers a smoother surface while still maintaining the superior density and tight grain patterns found in slow-growth Appalachian timber.
Smoked & Suede Finishes
Homerwood utilizes advanced smoking and specialized "Suede" matte finishes to create deep, multi-dimensional colors that are incredibly effective at hiding everyday wear, making them ideal for high-traffic homes with pets and children.

What does "Character Grade" mean?
Character Grade means the wood is harvested and milled to keep its natural story intact. You will see more knots swirls and color variations. It is the highest tier of aesthetic for those who want a natural organic look rather than a uniform artificial appearance.
Is Homerwood durable enough for a busy kitchen?
Absolutely. Because Homerwood uses dense Appalachian hardwoods such as Oak and Hickory and Walnut along with specialized UV-cured finishes these floors are exceptionally resilient. In fact the Character styles are better at hiding small dings than smooth floors.
Can I install Homerwood over a concrete slab?
Yes. While Homerwood is famous for its solid wood heritage they offer a high-performance Engineered Platform that is specifically designed for stability over concrete subfloors common in modern Bay Area homes.
How can I see Homerwood samples?
We feature large-format display boards in our San Carlos showroom just off the 101. We highly recommend seeing these in person because the hand-scraped textures and multi-tonal finishes are impossible to fully appreciate on a screen.
