• Carlisle Joins the Log and Timber Show, Chantilly, Virginia

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  We exhibited at the Log and Timber show over the weekend in Chantilly, Virginia! It was a neat show and we had the chance to meet with many people.

  Before the show started, one of our preferred installers, Aaron Penney installed our wide plank Eastern White Pine and Heart Pine floors.
  
  Here's a photo of Aaron putting the Antique Cut nails into the Eastern White Pine floor.

   

  
   
   
  Once the show started, visitors stopped by the booth to look at our beautiful solid wide plank floors. Here's a photo of Janel from our DC Design Center chatting with one of our guests! They're talking about our hand scraped hickory floors.
  
   
   
   
  
   
  Here's a few close up shots of the booth in between visitors stopping by. 
   
  
  This is the Custom Coat Pre Finished heart pine floor!
  
   
  
  Here's a nice shot of our wide pine floor, this has our signature Gingerbread stain!

• Great Carlisle Service=Happy Builder

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  Here's a note from Lauren Power of our Midwest Sales team:
  

  Thought you might like to take a look at this amazing PREFINISHED floor
  we made for homeowners in PA.
  
  It's a mix of 4-8" 'country' White Oak and all 8" 'country' rift and
  quarter sawn white oak with gingerbread stain!
  
  The best news is that the builder is now needing about 2000 SF of
  prefinished Cherry for another home he's working on. This is a builder
  who was VERY hesitant about our terms and didn't want to pay for the
  floor before he saw it. I guess we proved ourselves the first time
  around- thank you to everyone involved in crafting this beauty!
  
  Enjoy

• DIY: New England Red Pine in Colorado!

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  Laura Leier of our Denver Sales team sent in these photos of her DIY project, prefinished wide plank Red Pine!

  See her notes and photos below!
  

   

  Here are some pictures of Our New England Red Pine prefinished with a cherry stain 8-12” wide. The install would go much faster if we did not have so much help but it fits together perfectly. The only trick with really long wood is when squaring the ends you have to really push down on the boards to keep it flat and flush with the fence on the saw. Additionally, we have not experienced any “regional contraction” in the wood. All of the boards have remained the same width and it has been in Colorado since May! This will be a huge selling tool for me when I am selling pre finished in more arid climates where this tends to occur more often!
  Thank you to the mill and prefinsihing for making us such a beautiful floor that every neighbor has stopped in to covet!
   
  Laura and family

• Getting Ready for the Log and Timber Show, Chantilly!

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  We're getting ready for the Log and Timber show in Chantilly, Virginia! The show is this weekend, October 24-26 at the Dulles Expo and Conference Center. In preparation for the show, we built two floors to show off! Here's a few pictures of one of the floors, our wide plank Eastern White Pine! It's unfinished in the photos, but our crew at the sample shop finished it by hand with our Gingerbread stain and Tung Oil finish.

  

   

  
   
  
  

  Stop over and see us at the show! We'd love to give you free tickets, call us today: 800.595.9663!
  

   

  

   

  Stay tuned...for a recap of the show when I return next week!

• Exceeding Expectations: Achieving a Similar Look, on a Budget!

  Posted by Megan Sprague

  An email from Shanon of our New England Sales staff: 
  

  Good Morning -
  Here are some amazing shots of our Hit or Miss Eastern White Pine wide plank floors
  stained Gingerbread in a new home in Hollis, New Hampshire.  This was a
  customer that came to us loving the milled barnwood
  and for budget reasons had to "compromise" - but I'd say this is far
  from a compromise.   Great job to the stoddard guys for another amazing
  floor.
  Enjoy!
  

  Here's the nice letter and photos from her clients in Hollis, New Hampshire! 
  

  Hi Shanon,
  
  We finally finished the last tung oil coats on the floor and it looks
  BEAUTIFUL!!!  So many people (including the town inspector!), have fallen in love with our Carlisle wide plank floor.  I thought you might like to see a few pictures of the final product.  I don't have the greatest camera -but you'll get the idea!  We are moving in this week and will enjoy these floors for many years to come.
  
  Thanks so much for all your help - you all have been wonderful to work with!
  
  Fondly,
  
  Wendy
