Hello, I recently bought a home with ash flooring. I am currently hand scraping it. We have a professional hardwood flooring company that will seal it. I would like to know what is the method of sanding or buffing out some of the rough spots, splinters, etc after the scraping. He said he would use his buffer to smooth it out. I would like to know if the buffer is used what grit or toughness should he use so that it won't remove all the character I just added.
Here is a little info about the project, Ash hardwood flooring. It has been sanded down and buffed. It was nice and smooth. I am scraping it down and distressing it. We will stain it with Bona jacobean and then wipe it off. Then it will be buffed down to remove the stain on the surface. Hopefulling leaving the stain in the distressed marks and the grain. The floor will then be sealed. My wife and I came up with this after about two weeks for playing around.
Here is what we are going for but in a hand scraped texture:
Thanks for any comments and suggestions. GD
