The Kentucky Racehorse Oak from M. Fine Lumber is not just a flooring option; it’s a living testament to the rich heritage of central Kentucky, fondly known as “The Racehorse Capital of the World.” This unique flooring material, made from reclaimed oak horse fencing that once graced the sprawling farms of the region, this unique flooring material carries with it a legacy of tradition, elegance, and resilience.

Imagine thousands of miles of paddock fencing, weathered by the elements and bearing witness to the daily rhythms of farm life. M. Fine Lumber repurposes this fencing into exquisite flooring, infusing each plank with the spirit of the land it once bordered. What sets Kentucky Racehorse Oak apart is not just its durability or aesthetic appeal, but the story it tells—a story of hard work, dedication, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

The character of these reclaimed timbers is truly unparalleled. Not only have they weathered the elements, but they’ve also borne the marks of the horses who once called these fences home. From the subtle patina of age to the occasional scratch or chew mark, each imperfection tells a story, adding to the allure and authenticity of the wood.

Choosing Kentucky Racehorse Oak for your flooring means embracing more than just a material; it means connecting with a tradition that spans generations. It’s about honoring the legacy of the land and the animals that have shaped it while also making a sustainable choice for the future. With its refined character, clean finish, and unmatched story, Kentucky Racehorse Oak flooring is more than just a surface—it’s a piece of history, ready to bring warmth and beauty to your space for years to come.

How to set up and take care of wooden floors

Unfinished planks leave the freedom to do a custom finish, while our finished floors make installation quicker and easier.

The Art of Finishing Wood Floors

Reclaimed wood flooring is a classic and timeless investment that can instantly enhance the beauty of any home. Finishing wood flooring involves giving it a protective layer to help prevent scratches, stains, and other types of damage while also enhancing its color and luster. There are several different types of finishes that can be applied to wood floors, depending on the desired look and level of protection needed.Oil-based polyurethane is one of the most popular options for wood floor finishing, as it offers superior protection for hardwood floors against moisture, dirt, spills, and daily wear and tear. Polyurethane is available in both water-based and oil-based versions; however, oil-based polyurethane will typically last longer than water-based varieties.Another popular option for protecting wood floors is waxing; however, wax will need to be reapplied over time in order to maintain its effectiveness. For those looking for a more natural finish with less maintenance involved, penetrating sealers can provide an attractive finish while still offering a high level of protection from moisture and dirt buildup.The type of finish chosen should depend on the desired look as well as factors such as climate, since some finishes may not be suitable in certain environments due to their inability to protect against temperature changes or humidity levels. When caring for finished reclaimed wood flooring, vacuuming regularly with a soft brush attachment can help keep dirt, dust, and other particles from scratching the surface, while occasionally mopping with mild soap can help keep the floor looking its best.

Reclaimed Wood Flooring: A Quick Overview for Setup

Installing reclaimed wood flooring is a highly rewarding task that requires careful planning, preparation, and expertise. It can be done as a DIY job, but it’s always recommended to hire a professional to ensure the best possible outcome. Before installing any wood flooring, it’s important to consider the type of wood being used and its associated qualities.Additionally, solid hardwood flooring requires that each board be nailed down individually, while engineered hardwood utilizes interlocking boards for faster installation. Once you have chosen your desired type of flooring, you must make sure the surface beneath is properly leveled and free from debris before continuing. Depending on the type of wood chosen, there may be additional steps required before laying out your planks, such as measuring out space for expansion gaps or adhering strips under each plank to prevent movement due to heat and humidity fluctuations.Afterwards, all that is left is preparing your adhesive or nail gun (depending on how your product was designed) before putting down each board one by one until it is complete. While this process can be tedious at times, once finished, reclaimed wood flooring will undoubtedly prove worthy in both visual appeal and long-term strength for years to come!If you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind flooring option with beautiful history that’s both attractive and environmentally sustainable, recycled timber is a great option. Before you install your reclaimed wood flooring, it is very important to let it acclimate. This will make sure that it stays stable after installation.
