Longshot enquiry - 'Red Deer Brand' wooden floor

Hi, I have my doubts whether this will work, but thought it worth a shot ... I am looking to restore a wooden floor in my dining room which has long been covered by wall to wall carpet. The house was built in 1941-2, by the UK Admiralty and the flooring I think dates from that time: it is made of 2.25" tongue and groove flooring which on lifting reveals a stamped branding along the undersides: "Red Deer Brand - Made in Canada". Given that the house is in Scotland I guess only the Admiralty would have been sourcing wood floors from Canada in 1941 - or of course the floor may have been installed at a later date, but then why import flooring when the whole surrounding countryside is stocked with forest? Anyway, my question is: I need to repair and replace some of the less sightly access holes etc that have been cut in the floor over the years - can anyone offer me any advice on what kind of wood it is likely to be (is the Red Deer brand well known in Canada? Does it derive from Red Deer Alberta?) - or how best to go about seeking a source for matching the wood to effect my repair/replaceement. As I said, a longshot I think - but any assistance gratefully received. Cheers, Alasdair Bovaird (Remove XNOXSPAMX for genuine e-mail reply) Hi Alasdair, I know this was posted back in 2002, another long shot. But I have some of this wood, Beverley UK. It was taken up from an old squash court. I was doing research to find out what type of wood it is? Did you ever find out and are you still looking for any replacement pieces? I might be able to help you if you are. Best regards, Matt |

Longshot enquiry - 'Red Deer Brand' wooden floor
Hi Matt
Another longshot but I've just taken up the carpet to find this flooring which would look great if re-sanded and sealed. Trouble is there is a big gap where a wall once stood. Have you still got any available? If so, I may be interested. I'm down in Surrey. Neil |

Longshot enquiry - 'Red Deer Brand' wooden floor
HI. Im looking for some of the exact same flooring as above. My property is in Northumberland, house built in circa 1915-1920. I have emailed the company mentioned above. My whole downstairs flooring is from this timber, I require a patch job being done after some bi fold doors have been fitted. Thanks in advance.

A very sad decision, but I wanted to cure a damp problem below. Each board is about 2 m long, 58 mm wide and 21 mm thick. There are a lot of nails in them and the boards are not all intact, but there are lots of them, approx 50 m2. Anyone interested? Henry Webb Aberdeen |
