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!
