Hi,
I'm looking for suggestions on what kind of stain to use on our white oak floors. I'm attaching a picture of the look we're trying to get. I'm not sure if these floors are stained at all, but there dose seem to be something applied to them.

Thanks!

I believe its woca oil on that floor in one of their white wash colors. Its a newer product in the states but supposedly all the Europeans have been using it for ever. Its a peetratining hard wax oil, not a flim building poly finish. its designed to be periodically recoated with a secret sauce as it wears. the idea is that if maintained properly the floor will never need a full refinish.

We make that floor. We can tell you exactly how to do it job site. It will be labourous as the floor will have to be wire brushed but we can explain how to drop the color in the soft grain and then finish.

Here is thumbnail on our flickr page:

Yup I would call WD out on this one.
It looks like a white oil(RUBIO) is rubbed into the planks. Keep in mind that it will look different on smaller boards.
Make sure the sanders do a PERFECT job or you will see their sanding lines.

I have pics of a Buzzilion different samples starting on

I would be happy to tell you how to do them.
