I remember when you posted about that project! I laid very similar floors, 10" wide and 12 ft long. I really wanted to go with a nice oil varnish but we pen our dogs in the kitchen all day and needed something tough... I ended up using polyurethane but it's not as rich as a nice oil finish.

Yours looked awesome back when you laid them, they've been down for what, a year or two? How are they holding up? Did any of them cup?
