Old Heartwood Southern Yellow Pine
I'm repairing floors in a home that is over 145 years old. The T&G
flooring is heartwood Southern Yellow Pine. There are a few boards needing replacement here and there in the room. Then there is one area about 5' x 6' in front of a window. It is dry rotted and needs to be replaced with stable material to match the rest of this room so that when sanded for refinishing it will match. Anyone out there have any suggestions as to where to find or make replacement boards The original floor is 7/8" thick. I've done some dumpster diving to rescue old yellow pine from every manner of architectural components that contractors throw away. .... doors baseboards etc.... Have been able to salvage some useable materials so far. I'm in the Northern Kentucky area across the river from Cincinnati. B. Frye |
