Carlisle Wide Plank Floors

Ten years too long to wait for Eastern White Pine wide plank floors? Nope

Ten years ago June Peoples of Washington state got a sample of our Eastern White Pine stained with Antique Pumpkin. This year, she finally got a chance to order the floor for her living room and did all the installation work herself. After completing the project, she was kind enough to send us a couple of photos and a nice note. The boards were done in 11-inch widths. She writes:

I wanted to wait until I finished room completely before sending you the final pictures. Most importantly I wanted to send you my sincere thanks for all your help and advice throughout the process. This is one of those projects where you get out of it what you put into it: hand selecting and placing each board, two coats of hand rubbed stain on my hands and knees, pilot drilling and placing the iron nails one at a time, four coats of tung oil. Not to mention, removing carpet, repainting the room and painting and replacing the baseboards…the result is better that I expected. Even prettier than the gorgeous sample I kept for ten years. Absolutely love it. The only down side is I have to deal with the envy and jealousy of my neighbors who settled for the floor-in-a-box from Home Depot.

Next year my bedroom…
