qlty Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 A big item at HD and other bldg supply stores is pre finished flooring and the solid wood type comes in many fine woods the sheets run around 4 Ft by 6 or 8 inches wide.My Hd was even giving free sample pieces out to take home to match a rooms decor.Can't beat the price on those.Did I mention I'm a bit frugal?John aka qlty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Great idea! Many of those planks are pretty wide, too. They usually have a composite core, but I don't think it would make much of a difference. In fact, I wonder if you can dye the composite core with some black stain. It should wipe right off the face of the hardwood surface without discoloring it. Might be a good way to hide the core. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj21817 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 i hqve actually been using flooring for a while.its a lot harder to cut thru than wood if your using spiral blades and takes a little longer due to the fact its harder to cut.but other than that its a great source of wood and doesnt take alot of finish because most of it is already finished.
