Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 4" Red Oak:
When I went with Natural instead of Select, I expected some knots and heartwood. I did not expect so many of the pieces had worm holes in them. Even worse, the pieces were not well sanded still showing saw marks. I had to spend alot of time sanding the pieces otherwise the saw marks would have attracted stain.

Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 4" Red Oak:
I repurposed the floor material for a wood ceiling in my kitchen.
I chose a natural grade for the grain variations and small knots to create a rustic feel. (The rustic grade would have been too much of a constrast with the cabinetry.)
I v-grooved each board to create a "plank" feel. Then, hand distressed each board.
The expected outcome is a finished wood ceiling that matches the finish of the kitchen cabinets.

Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 4" Red Oak:
Price is decent, but they don't tell you that the bundles are made up of mostly short board lengths. When you lift up the bundles, they fall apart, because there are no long boards to keep them together. Also, it was very hard to get the tongue and groove to go together.
I was also shorted on quantity, but they did give me the bundles I needed for no cost.

Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 4" Red Oak:
I HAD NEVER DONE ANY SORT OF WOOD FLOORING BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS PROJECT. IT WENT DOWN EASY WITH NO PROBLEMS AND IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! FINISHING IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE. THE PRODUCT IS OF GOOD QUALITY, THE PRICE WAS TERRIFIC AND THE SERVICE WAS VERY QUICK. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE EXPERIENCE.

Comments about R.L. Colston 3/4" x 4" Red Oak:
I was supplementing wood that I had pulled up from an existing floor. The original floor was very rustic, had a rough and very dark finish. When the finish was removed from the old floor, we realized that there was a combination of red and white oak. The unfinished red oak that we got from LL fit perfectly because we had staggered it's use. We used a grey stain (Minwax - Driftwood) to blend the various colors together. The result is a beautiful and totally unique look to my dining room floor. I am very happy with the outcome.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Q:
Do we need to sand and smooth it down after installed and before we stain it?1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE

Generally unfinished flooring needs to be sanded so all joining boards are even and smooth. Then finishing can begin. Our installation service company HSS installs but at this time does not finish unfinished flooring. They can recommend a finisher or; Go to WWW.NWFACP.ORG and click on sand and finisher and then type in a zip code or city/state. These are NWFA certified installers and finishers. As with any company you should check their credentials before hiring.Q:
How long does this unfinished oak have to sit in the house before we install it? also, can you reccomend a sturdy polyurathene to put on this wood? we will not be staining it, or sanding it....just putting a few coats of poly on it. THANKS!1 answer
