Do you think this is acceptable ?

Hows this one. Smoked range again.

 

nice variation in colour... is that filler I can see...

 

looks nice that Trimmz, not too sure about the sap boards though, bit streaky!!!

what product is that BTW...?

PS- good use of cardboard, i always dooz that tooz

 

Kersaint 20mm oak smoked.
Had to use all boards as no spare. Really tight.
Customer was aware and didn't want to get an extra pack but also said she prefers the rustic/ variation style so that's what she got.

 

Didn't even have enough spare to do hatch properly.

 

doesn't look that bad... if they're putting a sofa over it...!!!! LOLz, nice work matey

 

One of the boards looks terrible! I take it its a natural hardwood floor. Have seen the differences in shades of colours like this before. Would advise them though to go back and look at the whole batch but I suppose if its down now, lighting and furniture will help accentuate it and guests may not even notice.

At least at 18mm they will get long out of it and with the different floor cleaners and varnishes out there I'm sure they can make it work. Maybe they could paint it green or yellow and it'll all be the same colour

 

There's always one board isn't there! And if you had left that one out it would be another board that looks similar !

 

Furlong took it all back in the end

 

Robroy - the smoking process is simply the use of ammonia gas that reacts with the tannic acid content in the timber. There will always be more variation in colour from this process because the tannic acid content in some boards will be more readily available than in others. True dark smoked would usually have been exposed to ammonia for longer periods of time - this evens up the colour more but i would still expect variation. It's also worth noting sapwood will not fume.
