Overwood. Client says go ahead and install it.

BR-111 Casanova; Sicilian Teak

Anyone else see this?

Before I ever glued a board down, I put some together to prefab some flooring to get under a doorjamb. Noticed the overwood immediately and told the lady of the house to come take a look. She felt it and said OK. Man, some of it is bad.

Currently, I am installing Tuscan Striped Pecan and have culled quite a bit as well. You would think for the price it would be milled a little better, being their flagship engineered line.

Rub your hand across the surface, and it is frightening! I hope there are no splinter boards I missed!

I walked in this morning and the client wanted me to Cull some boards out of What I installed yesterday, because she did like the bright blond boards.

She culled out boards all day, today!

All the long boards are blond. all the middle length boards are very dark, almost black some of them, and the short boards are hony tone. It has been a headache just racking this floor out with the colors on specific lengths, of 3 lengths to choose from in the random flooring.

You know I have been pretty impressed with their thin solid indusparquet line for the price it is an affordable solid exotic and it is like the LHF floor runner was made for it. it may be the beveled edges in that line that make it seem milled well, but this is my first Casanova install and it has left a little to be desired. In saying that the Casanova line has some really beautiful and rare woods that you just don’t see everyday and it has a pretty good wear layer.

To dig this one back up again, I just did another striped pecan install and there was not much overwood on this one. We may have just got bad runs; maybe someone was drinking on the job and not watching the mill on the last runs.
