I love that Pappa. Where's you get it? I could sell a ton of that stuff out here.

I like it, not a very easy to clean floor but it looks awesome.

At least you got to sand it, we did one last year that was literally a barnwood surface and they didn't want it sanded, kinda like prefinished I guess. It was oak too... Would've been neat. Whatever, they sign the checks lol

The homeowner made the thresholds. I had no choice. He is a friend of mine. We stained them cherry to try and match them, again wasnt my choice. The Barn came out of Penn. A supplier here get it, 5 bucks a foot, 6 if you want a side sanded thru a machine. The homeowner had it sanded. The opposite side has paint on it. It was just regular old plank. We glued, then even though no tounge, we side nailed anyway, then tried to utilize some of the nail holes with the cut nails. We didnt want continuous rows of nails so I staggered them. I used a black marker to color the bottom of some large holes then we used clear epoxy in some of the large knots and holes. Then finished with oil finish. This is the dining room, more wood is being shipped in for the living room. Its a nice log cabin. Very open inside.. 2 dogs, sheppard and a 190 lbs dane. They know that the dogs are going to kill it, "make more character marks", but we will go over every year or so and put more finish on it .

Why even bother with those ugly looking T-holds?
