Tesoro Woods Stone House – Brushed Natural 7-1/2"

Brushed Natural is the only hickory in the Stone House collection: a natural, warm hickory with the species' famous high-contrast mix of pale sapwood and caramel heartwood, plus knots and mineral streaks. The wire-brushed surface and matte finish give it a rugged, lodge-style character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Brushed Natural oak or hickory? Hickory. It is the only hickory color in Stone House; the other colors are white oak.

Why does hickory vary so much in color? Hickory naturally mixes pale cream sapwood with caramel-brown heartwood, so boards range from light to warm brown. That contrast is its signature look.

Is hickory a hard wood? Yes. Hickory is one of the hardest domestic hardwoods, which makes it a durable choice for busy homes.

Can Brushed Natural be installed in a basement? Yes. Stone House is engineered hardwood rated for above- or below-grade installation, and it can be glued down, nailed or stapled, or floated. Follow Tesoro Woods' installation guidelines for subfloor moisture testing and prep.

Wide-Plank, Wire-Brushed Hardwood with a Thick Wear Layer

Brushed Natural has a 2mm sawn hickory wear layer on a stable 5-ply engineered core, so it looks and feels like solid hardwood while resisting the cupping and gapping that solid wood can show with seasonal humidity changes. At 1/2" thick and 7-1/2" wide, with lengths up to 75", it gives rooms a substantial wide-plank look. A light wire brushing opens the grain for texture, and a UV-cured matte finish keeps the look natural and helps hide everyday scuffs.

Healthy, Low-Emission Flooring

Stone House is FloorScore certified, meeting strict indoor air quality standards for low VOC emissions, so it is a healthy choice for bedrooms, nurseries, and family spaces.
