#1 Hickory with a Walnut Border

This is a Hickory floor that we did back in 2004 for a builder in Harrison, AR.  This was a very nice home, out in the woods, and the builder wanted a “rustic” theme, so he chose a hickory floor, but wanted a border around the entire area.   You can see at the entry in the front, we bordered around a tile entry area.   This floor was one of the most unique floors that we had done at the time, and was before the hand scraped and distressed period that we are currently in.

#1 Red Oak with a Walnut Border

This is a home that we did in Harrison, AR, back in 2000.  The owners of the home wanted to break up the large room into spaces for furniture placement, and borders worked out great for this.   We used  2 1/4  #1  Red Oak for most of the floor, with Select 2 1/4 Walnut for the borders.   The borders are done with “Log Cabin” corners, which overlap, on into the other.  This floor is finished with a natural satin finish, and turned out very nice.  See the pictures below.
