Wood Floor Finishing - Flooring specialist Howard Brickman joins Bob in this episode to sand the old growth white oak floors from Carlisle in the project house. Brickman demonstrates his techniques, with a focus on being thorough in order to achieve a smooth, even finish. He uses a variety of sanders and buffers, before finally applying several coats of Tung Oil. At the sister project, Brickman tackles the pine floor in the master bedroom. Offsite, Bob tours the Hancock Land Company's sustainable forestry operation in Casco, Maine, with noted environmentalist Patrick Moore and learns how they balance their harvesting operation in order to keep the forests healthy. |
