Comments about Clover Lea 3/4" x 5" Natural Heart Pine:
I assume they may come from different mills. Sometimes the bundle is mostly long boards, and the ends are cleanly cut. Sometimes the bundle is full of short (2 to 3 foot) boards between two long ones, and every end needs to be cut because they are not perpendicular, and ragged. Fortunately, most of them are good. The flooring itself is easy to put down, and looks great once installed. We used "natural" stain, and a non-glossy Poly. This was for an 1805 farmhouse, so we wanted a wider pine floor. We used the 9" regular pine in one room, and while it was nice, the heart pine was better, and certainly made of a much harder wood. Since you want to cut random lengths anyway, working around the very few bad knots was not an issue. I expected to waste a lot, but ended up being able to use almost all of it. Overall, very good, but cross your fingers and hope to get stuff from the good mill.

Comments about Clover Lea 3/4" x 5" Natural Heart Pine:
I purchased 900 s/f. The 12 s/f bundles each consist of one 7-footer, three 5-footers, and three 2-footers. Like someone else posted, you really do need to cut both ends of each piece to get them even. That being said, the quality of the wood was good with very few pieces bent/warped and after it's all laid down, it looks great.

This is beautiful stuff! But may not want to use in high traffic areas like a kitchen.

Comments about Clover Lea 3/4" x 5" Natural Heart Pine:
It does the job, but is pretty expensive and hard to get. I had to cut the wood down myself, as the planks I needed were 3 1/4" width and the only size these came in were 5". It would make sense for them to sell the wood as 3 1/4", as many houses in my area (South Bend, IN) were built using that size planks.

Comments about Clover Lea 3/4" x 5" Natural Heart Pine:
I was promised lengths "between six and ten feet."
In fact, each "bale" consisted of two seven-foot long boards on the top and bottom "sandwiching" two pairs as follows: A five-foot and a two-foot board, end-to-end. I doubt whether any harm was intended, but it had a tang of fraud, which felt ugly.
If use of short lengths is needed to complete a run, then I'd like the courtesy of being able to make those decisions myself.

Q:
What percentage of red would you say this heart pine has in it? I need to buy some boards to match my existing heart pine floors but I need it to be 70% red.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Unknowable as each lot or even bundle may differ. Color changes can also be expected with time.Q:
Hi,1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Wood flooring after installation continues to expand and contract seeking to normalize itself with its environment. Ideally, relative indoor humidity 30%-50% with temperatures of 60-80 degrees should be maintained. The (NWFA) National Wood Flooring Association states; “Side edge cracks between boards are normal, seasonal and to be expected. Seasonal gaps that will allow a dime to fit are within standards and should close back during seasons of higher humidity”.Q:
Can any of your unfinished oak flooring be used for outdoor porch flooring - it is a new covered porch.1 answer
A:
Our unfinished flooring has not been pre-treated for outdoor use, while you can use the unfinished oak you would have to treat it for outdoor use either prior to installation or thereafterQ:
For the 3/4" x 5" heart pine, the description states that the flooring ends MAY be face nailed implying that it is optional. However, when reading the installation instructions, its states that for 5" planks the facing ends should either be screwed down or nailed implying that the butt ends must be face nailed. If the standard nailing scheduled is followed for installing the planking, is face nailing required for the 5" planking as the verbiage online and in the installation instructions seems to contradict each other. I dont want to face nail but am not sure if the 5" plank will have cupping issues if I dont.1 answer
A:
I would recommend facenailing the but joints on this wider 5" plank as there is not a tongue & groove on the ends. You could add a T & G using routers or use biscuit joinery.Q:
