Why the floors are screwed down?

[refinedhardwood]

These floors are 8" wide Long Leaf Pine. In NC we have a wide range of humidity changes throughout the year. It was important to screw down all of the match ends for structural purposes while the floor is moving with seasonal changes. Secondary to this, by counter-sinking the screws in a 3/4" hole and plugging the holes made for an interesting end product. Thanks for watching!!!

what kind of stain did you use...did you condition it first..is there poly on them? thanks

[refinedhardwood]

This stain is a mixture of several different "Olympic" stain colors. There are three coats of an oil modified polyurethane over the floor. Thanks for watching!

how come the floor is not flat at the point of entry?

[refinedhardwood]

This was a desired affect by the lodge owners. It is called crowning, and is most often associated with plank floors. Normally, crowning is caused by an imbalance in internal humidity and moisture control. This floor was allowed to crown to give it a more rustic feel to support the decor. Thanks for watching.

This really shows true craftsmanship which seems to get lost today!
