The top layer is sawn-face, meaning that you get to see the beautiful, natural grain patterns typical of European oak without the distortion caused by rotary peel methods. The surface is wire-brushed to highlight its deep textured grain and then hand-ground to create a timeworn look. The Strauss, given its strength of construction, matches with its durability. Kids and pets? No problem \u2013 the Strauss can stand up to high levels of foot-traffic and its beautiful texture masks scratching.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2164 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanfloor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Master-Bed-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aesthetic &amp; Style<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Textured to perfection, the Strauss awes with a full range of color variation including sapwood and mineral streaks.
