Each piece in the 18th Century Collection is a bridge to another time, a canvas that captures the essence of early American craftsmanship. The absence of saw marks and the presence of chatter marks tell the tale of a time when wood was shaped with patience, skill and respect. It’s a reminder of the days when homes were built to last, and every piece of furniture, every floor, was crafted to carry the weight of generations.
Imagine a workshop nestled in the heart of a bustling colonial town, where the scent of freshly cut wood mingled with the crisp morning air. Here, a craftsman carefully fed a rough-hewn plank through a manual planer. The planer rattled and groaned, leaving behind delicate chatter marks – those subtle, rhythmic indentations that spoke of a time when tools were simpler and precision was measured not by the exactness of a line, but by the skill in a craftsman’s hand. These marks, left by the blade of a hand-operated planer, became a signature of authenticity, a hallmark of true craftsmanship that time could not erase.
JP Wood Accents is driven by a passion to revive the authenticity of this forgotten art. We believe that in the details of the past lies the key to bringing warmth and character to the present. The 18th Century Collection is our homage to an era when every floorboard and wall panel carried the mark of its maker. By replicating the distinctive chatter marks left by the planers of the past, JP Wood Accents transports us back to a time when woodwork was a labor of love, and every stroke of the planer blade was a note in the melody of creation.
JP Wood Accents believes in the stories embedded in the grain of a simple piece of wood. We know that in a world where everything is moving faster, there is a yearning for the slower, more deliberate craftsmanship of the past. The 18th Century Collection is not just about wood; it’s about honoring the legacy of the artisans who built the foundations of homes and hearts with their bare hands. It’s about preserving the texture of history, about feeling the echoes of the past beneath your feet with every step you take.
JP Wood Accents invites you to bring the spirit of the 18th century into your home. The 18th Century Collection offers more than just flooring or paneling – it offers a connection to a heritage of craftsmanship, a touch of history that resonates with every glance and every touch. This is why we do what we do: to keep the stories of the past alive, to celebrate the beauty of imperfection, and to honor the hands that shaped our history, one plank at a time.
We have three main types of markings on our wood products: circle sawn, chatter marks and non-distressed. You can choose the marking that you like best for your application.
Circle Sawn
Contains saw marks to mimic the appearance and texture of classic barnwood.
Chatter Marks
Includes imperfections that make the wood look more rustic and authentic.
We use engineered hardwood for our wide plank flooring. Why? Engineering, which involves a multi-layer base to the floor plank, creates a much more dependable substructure that won’t bend, twist, warp or shrink with time. While the top 1/4″ of the plank is true hardwood, this substructure is designed for unrivaled longevity and durability.
Our flooring is designed, milled and finished in the United States using sustainably sourced lumber from central Pennsylvania and the northeastern U.S., supporting local businesses and craftsmanship.
We ship our flooring products nationwide. You can also come pick them up in Newport, PA.
Floors made in the USA help support local economies and supply chains, often feature higher quality control standards, and can offer easier access to support, sampling and customization than many imported products.
