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.
In 2006 we started doing Hand-Scraped wood floors. Now these distressed floors are some of the most popular floors that we do. Since these floors are scraped and textured by hand, no two floors are alike and they are all very beautiful. These are all hand scraped and textured in our shop before they are installed. They are all done by hand, one board at a time.
Some installers scrape a floor after it is installed. Scraping after installation means that you scrape across the joints of the boards, making each board blend together and basically look like a big sheet of uneven plywood when you’re done which is not a desirable look. We work with each board individually, and get the definition of each board in the floor that you are looking for. The floor has to be immediately finished after installation to protect the floor.
Our hand scraped floors start at about $ 7.00 per Square foot, installed and finished, for Rustic Pine up to about $12.00 per square foot for Walnut or Cherry.
We can also provide flooring with other textures such as wire-brushed, circle sawn, skip sawn, etc. If you are looking for something a little different than the plain smooth floor, give us a call or send an e-mail today. Be sure and check out all the pictures of hand-scraped floors all over our site.
