One of my favorite types of wood floors are hand scraped wood floors. These floors remind me so much of the reclaimed wood floors we spoke about in a previous blog: Recycled Wood Floors. I have always enjoyed floors with a lot of character, the ones that have that "rustic" look to them.
Hand scraped floors have a natural worn appearance and look like floors from when wood floors were finished by hand. These floors have become a popular choice among homeowners wanting hardwood floors with the look of an old reclaimed wood floor, but with today's tough urethane finishes.
What are hand scraped wood flooring? It is a technique using wood scraping tools to give the boards an old-world authentic feeling to them. In furniture this technique is called distressing or antiquing. Each piece is worked by hand to smooth out any roughness in the board, leaving each plank with an unique texture and finish.
Not all wood floor companies are educated on how to do this process correctly, so if you are looking into installing a hand scraped floor, be sure to ask for previous work completed by the company. When you do find an educated company, your results will be absolutely amazing! Below I am going to paste a few pictures of hand scraped floors for you to enjoy viewing.
