Anderson Hickory Forge flooring is an excellent hand-scraped hardwood flooring product. This product was designed by Anderson to provide consumers with a great visual appearance for a fraction of the cost of the Virginia Vintage collection of hand scrapeds. The entire collection consists of 5″ wide planks that are engineered to 3/8″ thick construction. With real walnut veneer and hand scraping that is actually done by hand, this product is sure to be a hit with his design team.
The collection offers 6 color options, so everyone will find a color that will work with their home décor or design. The two lightest colors are Hickory Forge Chaps and Hickory Forge Golden Ore. Anderson Chaps flooring is basically a natural walnut color, which in and of itself is not the best color when hand scraping is added to the floor. With natural walnut, the color of the wood is so light that it’s hard to tell if the hardwood floor was scraped by hand. With the next darkest color, Golden Ore, it becomes a bit easier to see the hand scraping, making it the best option if you’re looking for a lighter colored flooring option. Golden Ore is a wheat-like color and will work well if you are looking for a lighter hand-scraped floor.
The two mid-tone colors in this Anderson hardwood collection are Hickory Forge Branding Iron and Hickory Forge Hammer Glow. The color of branding iron is an overall reddish-orange hue and can be more difficult to blend with furniture and paint. The home owner will have to really love the color of the floor to choose this one. The best color option in the entire line is HF5796 Hammer Gloss. A medium brown shade, this color choice works in almost any setting and can offer the most decorating options for the end user.
The two darker color options are for true design gurus. Hickory Forge’s Ringed Anvil is a very deep brown color. Dark floors are all the rage these days, offering designers a look that can match furniture and paint options like no other floor color option. For the brave at heart, there’s Hickory Forge Rushing Bellows, which offers a darker tint color that has brown and burgundy undertones in the tint. The home owner or designer would really have to love the color to match this one.
