Rushing Bellows has arrived

The wood floor was delivered yesterday morning.  A total of 54 boxes at 30.5 square feet a box.  There's a lot of work to get that all installed.

The floor is from Anderson.  It's a dark-stained hickory called Rushing Bellows.  Each plank is 5" wide.  Here's a plank put up against the tile (sorry about the dust) for some comparison.

Planks are individually handcrafted, which makes each one unique.  The character of the wood is evident, even with the dark stain.

Trim work on the doors has come along nicely.  Doors will be stained to match.

Here's a bonus picture, a panoramic shot.  Some bur oak acorns and yellow birch seeds were planted here last fall.  We'll see how they come up this summer.  Yes, summer will eventually arrive!
