I have a 100 + year old house that has wonderful parquet flooring, however do to having them sanded several times and major construction I need to have them duplicated. My contractor is having a difficult time trying to obtaining the 8×2″ wood in which 4 = a 8×8″ boxed pattern of red oak. The original were only 1/4″ thick. Not only is he informing me that he can’t obtain them anywhere he also states that I shouldn’t purchase wood less than 3/4″. Can anyone inform me of a location that I can obtain such wood?
Dykes Lumber sells a 5/16″ x 2″ red oak strip. It is easiest to stack them 12 high on a chop saw with a stop, so that each cut yields 12 pieces. If you are looking for a larger quantity or a different thickness, you could have it milled to your specifications (size and species) by Adriatic Wood or Dimension Lumber(both are in Brooklyn and both deliver.)
