Beautiful! We got hickory from a local lumber company and love out floors. Tough to cut though.

roadwarriorsvt...it is re-claimed pine.
we told them we wanted it to look like a floor in a
very old country schoolhouse...beat up, saw marks,
nail-holes, different sizes/widths.

Do you finish it with regular polyurathane or a special product for floors?

"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Bearbait...I'm not sure. I wasn't down there today when they were doing it, but I'll find out. Bluegillerkiller I think most hardwoods (around here at least} are Oak, but we felt like since it's a weekend place and my brother and I are bachelors they will be relatively low traffic floors so we could get away with this old re-claimed pine. Post of pic sometime of your hickory.

That last floor pic looks like hickory or hard maple? Woops, I now see it was hickory. This looks like the prefinished stuff?

Old growth pine is very hard due to its slow growth and tight rings. My wife and I redid a 200 year old house with pine boards up to 3 feet wide. This wood was very very hard. It had already lasted since 1908.

Very nice! We used hickory in our home for the floors and kitchen cabinets. It wears like iron, and looks great.

My family owns a very well known hard wood company in st louis.. They say the new kind of pre finish woods cannot be beat by anything available over the counter.

I bought mine unfinished from a saw mill in random widths (actually just 3 different widths. I used dry biscuits in the ends to prevent cupping when I installed it. It was a lot of work, but it looks great. We used marine varnish to protect it.

Sounds like you did it right..
The thing with new pre finished wood is the chemicals used are baked on to make an almost like powder coated cover..

Zep, I've been looking into reclaimed wood also for the living room floor and kitchen cabinets. It ain't cheap, but I'll enjoy it for the rest of my life. What shade of stain is that? I'm really liking it.

Zep, I've been looking into reclaimed wood also for the living room floor and kitchen cabinets. It ain't cheap, but I'll enjoy it for the rest of my life. What shade of stain is that? I'm really liking it. since it was re-claimed pine it wasn't that bad as far as price, the re-claimed Oak can be pricey. The guy we used runs a demolition company and he was throwing all this stuff away for years. But he started getting lots of people wanting to buy parts of what he was tearing down. So he bought an old "out of business" lumber yard which already had all the shelving space for all the different sizes of reclaimed wood he runs across demolishing stuff. Now he has a thriving reclaimed wood company too. He's an old hippy...so if he likes you he will negotiate with ya. Here is his re-claimed wood website: Old Texas Wood We liked a color sample they had in the showroom and so when the installers were on-site they mixed up several sample boards of stain in different shades so we could see it in the cabin and then choose one. The actual brand/name of the stain is DuraSeal "Chestnut" color. Bearbait: The poly is DuraSeal Super Hardening Polyurethane for floors. BTW DuraSeal is is the professional line manufactured by Minwax.
