	We call it "cherry" to suggest the color range of its domestic counterpart, but that is where the comparison ends. Machiche is three times harder than domestic Cherry, and even harder than Brazilian Cherry.
	You can search the whole world for a light blonde wood that outperforms Maple for flooring, but you won't find one. Hard Maple is the hardest widely used domestic wood for flooring, 10% harder than Red Oak.
	Oak is the most widely used wood for flooring in America, but most engineered oak floors look like plywood. We offer White Oak in the distinctive tailored look that can only be achieved by cutting across the grain.
