The guys refinished an older floor last week, and it is quite the transformation! Back when these floors were installed it was common to finish only the edges of the floor, leave the middle unfinished, and put a rug over the unfinished part. This caused oxidization, leading to the dark patches in the wood. It permeates the whole way through the wood, making it impossible to sand out. There's no need to tear them out and put in new flooring, however, because the floors still look beautiful, with a rustic style.
