Pit Sawing Reclaimed Longleaf Heart Pine Flooring

tayloriii — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:30:15 +0000

E. T. Moore MFG was asking to pit saw 400 SQ FT of Reclaimed Long Leaf Heart Pine flooring for a museum. This is all vertical reclaimed heart pine flooring, the pit sawn face was gauged and undercut facing the floor joist and not walked on. To reduce the number of cuts, we cut the lumber on our German Sash Gang Sawmill to 3 inches and pit-sawed them in half to the desired 1 1/2 inches. Here at E. T. Moore, anything is possible

The Model of Viniterra

The Model home, in Viniterra, is nearing completion. The artisans of E. T. Moore Homes are reviving lost traditions in home building and design. Not being satisfied with the quality of many material and components, we choose to manufacture them our self. In the kitchen we custom designed and built the cabinets, and even the copper vent hood above the stove. The counter tops were made from recycled bowling alleys and incorporated the original dots and arrows. In the foyer we installed the floor using a pattern of three diamonds, to create a hexagon; Cad programs were utilized to manufacture the perfect sized diamonds, resulting in even spacing around the perimeter of the foyer. The front and rear steps were reclaimed sandstone window lentils. Throughout the house, we incorporated a very popular product, Original Finish Antique Heart Pine. These boards are specifically chosen for the patina and rustic look to coincide with the French Country architecture. We are proud of this home’ s materials and construction as it sets the standards for the Viniterra Community.

Dear Waterlox Fan,As the Blizzard of 2011 finally comes to a close, leaving behind freezing temperatures and layers of snow and ice through much of the country, it is also time to acknowledge that the home improvement season is now underway.And while we continue to explore the many ways that Waterlox Original Tung oil finishes can support you, we also take a look back at Cleveland’s rich history as a paint and varnish hub in the United States.

Feature Article: The History of Cleveland
As a Paint and Varnish Hub

This week’s feature article explores the rich history of Cleveland as a longtime paint and varnish hub. The strong industrial base that the city boasts today can be traced back well into the early part of the 20th Century.

To a large degree, the growth of Cleveland and much of what exists here today can be attributed to its industrial base. The United States was an early leader and Cleveland a major center of industrialization. Strategically located, Cleveland developed because it offered one business benefit few other commerce centers at the time could – access to different transportation networks.

When Remodeling Wood Flooring, Use Waterlox Original Interior Tung Oil Finishes

As you look at your “honey-do” list of home improvement projects to tackle this winter, enhancing your home with wood floors should be at the top of the list. The National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) states that in a national survey of real estate agents, 90 percent said that houses with wood flooring sell faster and for higher prices than houses without wood floors.

Q&A: Do I Need to Finish All Sides
of My Countertop?

In a perfect world, all six sides of a countertop could be coated to slow down moisture intrusion. No matter what process is used to finish wood, checking and warping can never be completely stopped or prevented because wood needs to be able to expand and contract. Further it is impossible to completely encapsulate a piece of wood.
