BinkieBaumont said:My 1947 home had floorboards that were "Meant" to be carpet over the top, when I tore up the carpet, 10 years ago the "Jarah" boards were flecked with lots of diferent colours "Seconds" the tradesman I hired to strip and polish the said the "Would have Character"lol they are rather interesting and its amusing to see that this type of multicoloured wood is rather fashionable in Modern Homes "just at the moment"
I think that your floorboards look great! They sure clean up much nicer than say wide plank pine boards used mostly in upper levels of 1800s farm houses. While, they can sometimes clean up nice, usually heave and are very worn.
