After letting someone use my place to throw a party, I recognized 150 dents all in a small 2 feet x 2 feet circle which i put together as some nervous heffer wearing tiny heals errr :evil: !!! "Board replacement is not an option, unfortunately Brazilian hard wood floor changes colors in 6 months time and you have had this in for 2 years." - wood guy. He then told me the only option is a brand new $10,000 floor. Does anyone have any other options?

Do the plank replacements and let them change naturally.

Let me guess... They're all at the ref., where she was campin out.

Take the replacement planks and lay them out in the sun. You'll be amaized how quickly Braz. Hardwood will darken.

Two thumbs up!

Let the boards sit in the sun for about 3 afternoons until evening. Then bring them in and let them acclimate for a couple of days.

Yup, board replacement for this small area is the best way to go, either with "pre-aged" boards, or let it happen naturally if you don't mind a temporary difference in the look. If you want to speed it up, take your replacement boards to your tanning salon for a session in the booth.
