Hey Wick,, forgot the product.

Those floors are going to be beautiful when you get finished with them.

Hey thanks. Any place to get in local?

This stuff is so tight grain, it is unreal. Dime size, one can count easy 12-15 year growth. Came out of a school in New Orleans that was built around 1900. It has never been sanded. Used up three sets of planer knives just to get varnish/wax off it.

Old pine is awesome. My old house near city park had that and it got doused for Katrina. Insurance gave me replacement cost, but I sanded and polyurethaned and it still looked great when I sold the place 5 years later.
Long lasting and looks great too.

Will do. Sparky has to be changed out. Couple months down time and I should have a bonner like a 17 year old again.

I hope you at least paid for an increase.

Fishfighter,

I gotta tell you, I wouldn't put anything on those floors but about 4-5 coats of Johnson's Paste Wax. Buff between coats. Obviously requires more maintenance than a varnish or urethane or similar, but not so much as you'd think. Depending on traffic on the floor, clean and rewax every couple of years.

So true on finishes. As for as traffic, there will be little. This is a guest house unless I move in.
