Okay, so I have learned a lot since I started with Grizzly.
One of the first lessons I learned was my 15 years of hardwood flooring knowledge wouldn't help me much when it came to Heart Pine. There is a whole other set of terms, facts and overall knowledge that is required to truly understand what makes a U.S. grown Heart Pine floor special from anything else you can buy. In addition, there is a lot of ambiguity in the market regarding these facts. Since the pine flooring business isn't nearly as well regulated as the oak flooring business, more responsibility is on every mill to be upfront with its customers about what they are really paying, and what they are really getting for their money.
