Making a New Pine Floor Look Old
Mold lead us to gut an entire floor. When reconstructing, I decided to go with a shiplap pine plank floor. But I didn't want it to look new. So, I "aged" it.
A previous roof leak left its evidence.
Gutting out the floor, sub flooring and joists.
Rebuilding new joists and sub flooring.
Adding the shiplap, allowing knots, nails and seams to show.
I banged and dinged up with planks with a horseshoe.
Stain painted in the dents.
Wiped the dark stain through the wood. And hand sanded the areas.
Then stained over the surfaces with three stain colors, brush blended.
Then added two coats of polyurethane, drying thoroughly between coats.
