    The new maple flooring is in thanks to everyone for the advice

    Select/clear grade hard maple prefinished from Baird Brothers in OH. Great quality product from them. Install went pretty smooth even on a 70 year old sub floor with an odd height fireplace hearth. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased.

    Thanks.

    Brian

    Great looking job.

    It looks fantastic. Good job!
    I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think, "Well, that’s not going to happen."

    Brian, that looks really nice.

    I just installed ash flooring I made from backyard trees.

    Regards, Rod

    Very Nice. I thought about doing it myself, but too much work right now for me. Brian

    Brian, it looks awesome. However........................................ I can't help but say that I was quite a bit disappointed when it wasn't new maple flooring in your shop. LOL

    Looks great and I'm sure that floor will be enjoyed for a long, long time.
