What kind of wood?

Are my floors made out of?

I know its not Oak or Maple.. the wood seems a bit soft

House is a 1920's oyster shack on the south shore of Long Island

When they built the place, premium materials were not used...which is funny since there is complicated plaster work and arched doorways and windows...


Southern Yellow Pine?

White Pine?

Also what kind of finish would have been applied 90 years ago? oil? don't think shellac...

TIA for your expertise





Showing some crazing or map cracking of the existing finish..




I plan on sanding the floor... Ill hire someone.... though probably end up doing myself, and applying a waterborne poly finish..
