| Hi all, We are starting a new home. The builder is moving us quickly and I have soooo many things I need to learn about. What are good suggestions for wide plank flooring? Thanks so much! |

| do you want new or reclaimed? We are getting ours from Appalachian Woods - nothing is installed yet, but I love my samples. We are doing their reclaimed beam sawn oak... |

| We looked at Carlisle and Chateau pre finished wide plank. Nice products but we ended up going with rift sawn white oak finished on site. We wanted a contemporary look with gray wash so this seemed the best option. The price including install and finish was $3 less a sq. ft. than the other two products. Good luck with your decision. |

| We're considering using pine boards, face nailed with cut nails for an authentic look. It's a really soft wood, so it will get nicks & dings, but that's what adds to it's character! Saw this pic (on an earlier thread) with the flooring I'm talking about and thought it was so pretty! |
