I've finished the LR and now I have just the den and breakfast area to complete.

It's not as hard as the Cherry, but it's got tons of character.

Well......the verdict is IN.

Hickory hardwood flooring. I'm going with a 5"/4"/3" width pattern. I fell in love with it at the hardwood store. Then Ken helped me save $1000 and re-directed me to Lumber Liquidators.

Which color stain are you going with?

Just like in that pic - it's the natural color, prefinished wood. 50 year warranty on the product - including the finishing!

Are you getting first or seconds, I've used LL many times, with seconds be sure to order extra, say additional 10%. I installed about 1200 sf of the Hickory in the 5/4/3 pattern in a house last year and it looked great. Good luck!!!

I've got a hundred bucks that he got firsts. I like that they discount the price if there's damage to the sides of the box in anticipation of tongue damage.

Alan, have fun matching the shoe molding. For ours I used two coats of Minwax Provincial and one coat of Red Mahagony.
