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) I know this is a very very old post, but for the benefit of anyone else searching: I have a similar board, am also in Scotland, and identified it as being made by Muskoka Floring. http://www.muskokaflooring.com/en/ |
