Pine job - Woodworking Talk

JP Sinclair · 03-24-2008, 10:35 AM

Got my first pine flooring job for my pine flooring. The mix was pretty cool, some wide and then narrow runs plus some blued pine with beetle tracks. The wife loved the look and if mama's happy - everyone's happy!!

Looks great and I love the patterns in the wood. You did a great job.

Love the floor, it looks great. I only wish it was in my house.

Looks good from what I can see. I would love to see some better pics that weren't so pixilated.

What kind of finish did you use?

He brings it on himself.

You don't have to hang out at CP to know BD is photo gizmo-challenged.

He was right though. The floor photos were heavily pixelated. Probably not the fault of the camera or operator. More likely compressed at the highest setting before posting to save space on the server.

Still, he's easily teased

The have the correct icon Dave, you could always use this one.

Yeah, I apologize on the pics. I used the wrong camera and it is one of the early versions of digitals, pretty poor pixels... The widest boards are 12", then some 10, 8 and 6. It was a great time mixing and matching different sizes and looks. I wish I had some better pics, I used some beetle tracked boards that looked like birdseye in pine, really neat. The beetle tracks were the only thing against the clear pine background that blue stained. We mixed in some streaked blue stained boards and the couple just loved it. They had some pics of pine flooring from some real antique homes and wanted to duplicate it even though their house was only 3 years old. I'm going to try some other pics here.. There we go, much better. The dotted board is the one I'm talking about. It made for a nice break in the transition between rooms

JP Sinclair · 04-09-2008, 07:22 PM

Here some other better pics. Just need someone that is better with computers than me. Which is pretty much everyone...

JP Sinclair · 04-09-2008, 07:29 PM

The finish is neat stuff, pricey but it worked great. It's actually a all natural whey based stain and clear made by a company in vermont. The homeowner said they covered 850 square feet and didn't even have to open a window, no violitile fumes at all. Plus it dried in about 60 minutes.

Big Dave · 04-09-2008, 07:52 PM

Nice looking floor. What is the name of the finish?

**TexasTimbers** · 04-09-2008, 07:59 PM

Wonder what the wear resistance would be with a finish that eco-frinedly.

stuart · 04-09-2008, 09:42 PM

I bet it sounds lovely to walk on it with boots

Big Dave · 04-09-2008, 10:23 PM

I think I found what they used.
