I'm a homeowner new to this site, but very impressed with the knowledge and experience of everyone - I'm hoping someone can give me good advice.
I have a home with american cherry wood floors. They looked great when we move in 7 years ago, but with two dogs the floors are now heavily scratched. I expect we'll need them sanded and would like some advice on the best finish to use. My wife and I like the look of hard wax oil finishes, but we're not sure how durable they would be with the dogs, especially with such a soft wood. Or should we go with a durable polyurethane? We'd like something that will keep looking good and last with minimal maintenance.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
