Well done on the flooring, JP.  It looks as though you have a slight groove between the boards.  Is that some spalting I see in some of the boards?

JP, if you keep your picture size around 30K it will look much better. Looks like from the size of the file its a big picture but the size is only 7K so lots of quality is lost.  Make the pic about 450x450 and 30K or so and it should look great.

Is it a White Pine?  Looks like the board in the middle is darker, is it pine also?

Interestingly, while I was cutting the order (white pine), I had some older pine logs that had sat around for a while and got some blue stain.  They also had some beetle tracks that stained.  I really kind of got a kick out of the look and sent my customer a picture on email.  I advised him that I could fill the order with clear white pine or "blued" pine.  I thought to call it stained pine wasn't good marketing but blued sounded nice.  The guy's wife absolutely loved the look and wanted as much of it as I could put in the order.  We mixed a bunch of it into the floor and mixed the widths in each row, a real neat old school look.  The house was only 3 years old but the floor made it real antique looking.  The wife was thrilled and if momma's happy - everybody's happy!!!!!
