Rustic floor completed
One of my blog readers suggested using a template, so that is where I started with the rustic wood floor. I cut a template from regular drawing paper. I had used a darker color for the Heritage attic, but I didn't feel like running to the store just for a piece of paper. I didn't think much of the white paper would show ultimately.
I sanded the boards with my Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool, first using a medium grit paper followed by a fine grit paper. The end result was a smoother surface, but I took Mike's advice and left it a little uneven to keep the rustic beauty. For finishing, I brushed on two coats of Delta Ceramcoat satin varnish. It warmed the wood slightly and gave it a subtle sheen.
I used a modest amount of glue to install the flooring since the thicker boards were relatively flat. Love it!
