Monday Morning Mailbag: Customer in love with Heart Pine
- Posted by
We got a note and photograph from customer Lisa Cahill recently and thought we would share them. Lisa had ordered 2,200 square free of 6- to 10-inch wide Heart Pine for her home. She selected a blended grade and the boards were finished only with Tung Oil, no stain. Below is a photo of how the floor looks in her remodeled kitchen.
Lisa writes: “I love my floors!!! Thanks, again, for all of your help. I actually used the leftover flooring and had a desk top made for my kids homework room.”
While writing to us, Lisa mentioned that she used a “magic eraser” to remove a shoe mark on the new floor. Unfortunately, the magic eraser had the effect of rubbing off the Tung oil, and she wanted advice on how to fix that. Our designer, Stephanie Buckley, advised her to re-apply a little Tung oil just to the affected area. Normally, scuff marks can be removed with a little white vinegar on a cloth.
Carlisle’s Heart Pine comes from a 30,000-acre plantation in Alabama, owned and operated by the Crosby family. It’s available in widths ranging from 4 to 17 inches, and lengths averaging 11 feet.
