Hickory hand-scraped engineered hardwood is easily installed and durable, just as other engineered hardwoods are. The difference is that being hand-scraped, these planks are each given a unique look that you simply can’t get with other types of hardwood. The tavern look is unique in the sense that it combines a bright chestnut brown with trails of ashy grey. It’s a great way to add a unique spin to your hardwood.
