Finishing a Wood Floor Video

Howard Brickman has begun sanding the old growth Eastern white pine floor in the bedroom. Like the sunroom, the fine quality of the millwork from Carlisle requires only about 2 passes. The next step is the finish. Brickman is using Tung Oil from Carlisle. This will take about 4 coats to complete. Next Bob and Brickman head back to the sunroom, where they are finishing up. Before he can apply the finish, Brickman smoothes the edges of the room with a hand scraper and palm sander. Next, he runs a floor polisher over the surface and then vacuums. Brickman is using Carlisle Tung Oil here as well. He begins by applying the oil to the corners with a hand sponge then uses a roller on the rest of the floor.
