OUR STORY

From our hands,

to your home.

origin

What began in a quiet workshop now graces the world’s most storied spaces.

For over four decades, Master Finisher Stephen Gamble has crafted custom hardwood floors, fine finishes, and bespoke millwork for the world’s leading architects, designers, and clients. His exclusive designs and collaborations transcend any singular style, spanning French Normandy castles, New England farmhouses, Southampton beach homes, and Manhattan penthouses. His meticulous attention to detail has been widely recognized, with features in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, Galerie Magazine, and more.

Stephen’s journey began in 1977 when he founded Stephen Gamble Woodworks in his garage. Originally focused on furniture and millwork, his exceptional skill and artistry quickly gained national attention. Over time, he transitioned to creating one-of-a-kind floors and architectural millwork using both new and reclaimed wood, establishing Stephen Gamble Historic Floors and Finishes. Each project is handcrafted in the USA, blending Old-World techniques with enduring design.

Today, Stephen’s legacy continues with the next generation of the Gamble family. Inspired by his dedication to quality, his children David and Laura have introduced a new brand featuring an accessible line of pre-finished hardwood flooring. With finishes personally selected by Stephen, this collection embodies his artistic vision and the story of his lifelong work.

Whether you’re looking for a bespoke masterpiece or a thoughtfully curated collection that reflects Stephen’s design philosophy, we are committed to bringing elegance, authenticity, and superior artistry to your home.

VALUES

We believe luxury flooring should be beautiful, durable, and responsibly crafted. Every plank reflects
our commitment to quality, sustainability, and tradition.

Sustainably Sourced, American-Grown Hardwoods

The vast majority of our wood is exclusively sourced from responsibly managed forests in the United States, ensuring sustainability, environmental responsibility, and the highest level of quality control. By prioritizing domestic hardwoods, we support ethical forestry practices that promote long-term forest health while reducing the carbon footprint associated with overseas materials. Our wood is not just a material—it’s a testament to responsible craftsmanship and enduring natural beauty.

Expertly Milled in the U.S. at a Family-Owned Facility

Each board is milled in our family-owned and operated facility in South Carolina, where generations of skilled craftsmen and women take pride in their work. Our team’s deep knowledge of wood milling and finishing ensures precision, consistency, and an unwavering dedication to quality. By keeping production local, we maintain strict oversight of every step in the process, guaranteeing flooring that meets the highest standards while supporting American craftsmanship.

Hand-Finished for Unparalleled Character and Customization

Our finishes are meticulously crafted, bringing out the natural beauty of the wood while offering an unmatched level of customization. Whether you choose from our curated finishes or require a custom project to existing textures and colors, our expert artisans use time-honored techniques to achieve the perfect look. Each finish is designed to enhance the depth, grain, and character of the wood, ensuring a truly bespoke flooring and millwork.

From precise milling to expert finishing, every detail is considered to ensure superior durability, stability, and performance. Our floors are built to withstand the test of time, offering an investment in craftsmanship that enhances the value and aesthetic of any space for years to come.
