Thanks for the compliments!
There's some cheating and tinting on the finish colors, but the idea is just to make it look more or less "well preserved" with an acceptable level of battle scars over almost 100 yrs in steady service.
The first photo is after 1st coat de-waxed garnet/bono shellac, and final repairs and touch-ups in the repaired areas.
Next are some leveling hardware & routing for installation. Floors in our ca. 1900 former farmhouse are not that flat. The levelers are biased a couple inches off center, toward the outer corners. Should be better for stability on the smaller footprint of the leveler pad.
Last photo is after second coat of de-waxed garnet/bono. Wood feet being sprayed.
There will be another light sanding, and one last coat of platina de-waxed shellac. Assuming all goes well.
