Imperfect and definitely a DIY job on a timeline, but pleased with how they turned out! There were three types of wood. Believe they are all original. Douglas Fir in the big long two room block, no idea about kitchen (maybe maple?) or foyer (maybe oak?) Used drum sander, edge sander, and buffer rented from big box store to prep. Loba Easyprime and 2 coats of Loba Supra AT on top. 4 days work.
About 800 sq ft of old Douglas fir wood floors in a 1901 home in western New York, I've been researching sealer/finish for several hours and there are so many options. I like the honeyed varnish look but I'm mostly focused on beginner-friendly application and durability.
Have narrowed it down to:
Berger-Seidle Exobloc sealer + Greenstar finish
Bona Classic sealer + Bona Traffic HD finish. I thought about AmberSeal but looks like it's harder to apply evenly
Loba Easyprime sealer + Invisible finish
Appreciate insights thanks
We are very deep in the weeds with our 1901 fixer upper and would love to hear your stories!!
