This home on Otter Tail Lake had an original oak floor from the β80s with a beautiful radius the homeowners wanted to keep, so I worked with it instead of around it.
I added a header along the curve, then laid in new 3ΒΌ" red oak and hand-scribed every board to follow the radius. Once it was all in, I sanded the whole floor so the old and new oak blended together. I sealed it with Loba Amber Prime to bring out that warm, rich tone, then finished it with two coats of Loba satin.
Curves like this take extra time and patience, but theyβre some of my favorite projects. The result is a floor that keeps its original character and looks like it was always meant to be this way. π
If you have a floor with some unique features youβd like to keep, send me a message. Iβd be glad to talk it through with you.
