I was at our local wood sales place, and I noticed they had a big stack of white oak (not quarter sawn) flooring 4" x 6 to 8" random lengths. We talked with the sales people, and they said they milled out a bunch to test water, and it didn't sell well. My question is, does it need to be end matched? This doesn't, but I think this narrow of strips that it won't be necessary. I like the nice wide boards, and the long lengths, and the price is $55.00 per bundle of 20 square feet, so I think it is pretty reasonable. What do you think about the end matching? We are going to call Monday and see if they want to give us a deal on clearing out their inventory.
Thanks!
