The challenge with the expansive galleries of the Joslyn Museum in Omaha was to create a sense of warmth in the midst of white walls and high ceilings. Oregon Lumber's Worthwood end-grain wood block flooring provided a cost-effective, low-maintenance and aesthetic solution.
A penetrating oil finish gives the wood a deep natural color and allows the hard annual growth rings in the wood to carry the wear. The flat finish eliminates distracting glare and does not require frequent refinishing. Worthwood actually looks better with time, as foot traffic polishes the finish to a soft patina.
