The Crary family of Prescott Arizona, sent amazing pictures of our Heart Pine Floors. The photos you see here are the end result of an “aging” process using an undercoat and patience. After 8 years and thousands of floors only the truly unique catch our attention, this fits the bill. Instead of explaining the ‘recipe’, we can get it directly from the source. “We wanted the floor to look rustic, we put an undercoat on first and sanded it off, before applying the finish coats. (Waterlox) VERY labor intensive but we like the result 🙂 We probably should have done one more layer of Waterlox at the end, but we just wanted to move in. So, it is imperfect like us and we love it!”
Arizona & Southern Pine
You may not think of Arizona when you think Southern Pine, or Heart Pine. Think again, SYP Direct makes it possible for people like the Crarys to obtain authentic materials at a reasonable cost. The finish job on these floors is amazing but the underlying materials made it possible. Full disclosure, Allan Crary runs Haley Construction and along with his wife Alison who designed this floor, they are not your normal DIY. The caption reads Bean Bleed, which refers to the Jatoba Bean stain wiped on and off, would not be as dramatic without the character underneath.
