floor from a torn down barn

Stunning!
I’m a big fan of reclaimed barnwood.

FWIW: The Maloof’s Mixture is equal parts Tung Oil [sic], Linseed Oil and Semi-Gloss Polyurethane Varnish.

Super floor, it simply oozes character.

-- You know.... I think that old wood needs to be furniture.

I have this planned for my kitchen floor. I just can’t find a barn.

Beautiful work!

thanks for the good comments, Dr goodwood, that is correct about the Maloof mixture, but my research tells me that the thinner is also a mixture that was used by Maloof, It is a better Drying agent than linseed oil for a floor, also tung oil does not dry on top of the red barn paint that was left in the floor so using paint thinner would help and speed up the mixture to dry on top of the paint… (took 24 hours to dry) tung was meant to soak into wood, but the paint would not let it… in all wood floors that we install or refinish, I use a mixture of tung in the poly, if not stained. mostly only use a 25% mixture, of old masters tung.. in a satin or semi-gloss poly, usually cabot floor finish.. I have not been convinced to use the water finishes on flooring yet…thankjs again.
