In my search for a "not new" wood floor, I've come across many people selling off the remains of their wood floor installation. I wonder if it would be possible to mix several of these remains of unfinished floors to make a whole? There certainly would be enough narrow width, 3/4" unfinished oak flooring. I would think if you let it sit in the room for a very long time, the humidity levels of the boards would even out so the shrinkage would be consistent. Perhaps if you took samples of one board to each purchase, you could ensure the tongues and grooves matched up...I would think the different milling of these might be the largest problem. Does anyone know if this would work? I cannot find any definitive info about this on the web. I'd also be interested in mixing different engineered hardwoods...possibly even different species as you'd likely not get matching finishes, so it might be best to buck consistency and go for a variegated type of look (though, I would think all lights or all darks so as not to make it busy). How do you think that would look/work?
