We are in a 100 year old brownstone building that has quarter sawn oak and mahogany flooring with other wood we cant identify.

Does anyone know what types of wood are commomly used for these type of parquet floor borders since no one we show it to seems to agree to their identity?

Most of the patching are long strips of fairly plain and soft wood outlining the border that sucks up a lot of stain showing some blotches but not a lot of grain.

Thank you for any educated guesses you might have to common types of old or new wood that could be found for patches these days.

Hello,

In the process of renovating our kitchen we notice that the wood used on the stairs is green. Our Brownstone was built in the late 1800′s. Does anyone know what type of wood this is?

Thanks!

If anyone has an idea what kind of wood this is I’d appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Thanks.

hi all-
anyone have a recommendation on someone who can build some big beefy floating shelves for our kitchen? we already have some heavy duty brackets in place…just need a reasonably priced woodworker/carpenter to create the actual shelves from multiple pieces of wood. thanks all.

Is anyone getting rid of old shutters? I am looking for 3 pair of upstairs shutters approx 6′ high x 3″-4″ per pair. Thanks.

I replaced some door moldings and installed new wood windows. I am looking for a consultant to give me advice on staining the new wood so that it at least comes close to the existing molding. any ideas appreciated.

I have a used Porter Cable profile sander, with about six profiles, which I am giving away. I will give this machine to the first person to email me. Free delivery to North Brooklyn and Park Slope.
