i'm really into retro_florida stuff, so here's what i am looking for: looking central/ north fl. tung&groove yellow pine FOOT-POLISHED FLOORING from old house. GOOD FOOT POLISH occurs from decades of bare, black-dirt, dirty-foots tracking black powder dirt onto floor w/ bare feet. floor wood is polished GLOSSY BLACK (a must) by this process. the grain stands out very well on a good foot-polish. old crack-er house may sometimes have this. it must be from interior to have the true character. knife-wound stains, cigarette burns, shotgun blasts, rat holes a plus. look for house with white tractor tires half-buried in ground @ driveway entrance. coil-spring screen porch doors are another good indicator as are rusty tin roofs or dog under house. plywood does not foot polish. i need a few boards to make some CASES out of! post pix here- can pick up. have actual money to buy good foot-polished boards. please no rat turds/ fleas w/ boards.

I was tring to get with you at the gainesville show iv got a old house about 10 min from where the show was i was going to come to your room party and see if you wanted to take a look at it saturday afternoon but you wouldnt get back with me the house is from the early 30's and the walking areas are black like your looking for and the owner does not give a damn about the place he said if it got torn down the kids would quit hanging out in it

Will the toe cheeze be removed when the cases are made?? Maybe spray with Desonex before staining?

noap- that is part of the patination process -historically native to our great state. all cases- $150 custom made to your reasonable dimensions.
