Unfinished Hickory #2 Country 5" Solid Hardwood Flooring

#2 common vs. #2 country 5”

I purchased 4” and 5” #2 “country”. The 4” was #2 “common” - much better quality and fewer short lengths. The 5” was mostly #2 “country” and I purchased what was left in the warehouse ~ 100s/f? The extra 5” was #2 “common”. It had more character and fewer very short lengths. The issue with using 5” #2 country and 5” #2 common, there are slight width variations in the #2 common compared to the #2 country. In some cases as much as 1/8”. I had to be careful planning the layout. Also, I’m not sure how many s/f was in each bundle. I’m not even halfway done with the floors and it doesn’t look like there will be enough to finish the house. I’ll follow up on that later. I double check my requirements.

This flooring is fantastic. Beautiful color and character. Exactly what we wanted. I wish we had gone here to begin with. It will need to be sanded to bring out the real wow so after its finished I will try to post a picture.
