I am working on a modern project right now and the architect has asked for engineered rift sawn white oak floors. The prices that we have gotten back so far are way too high for the budget. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good alternative. He likes rift sawn white oak for its simple, straight grain pattern. This is a very modern house and the emphasis is on simplicity. Thanks!

Fir has straight grain but is softer. Price is also about the cut, sorta like prime beef. So to get something cheaper that look slike that you might have to go softer or maybe look at ash.

Thanks Stephen - I'll check both of those out.
