Hello,
I am a homeowner interested in hardwax oils for our old house restoration. I have been experimenting with wood bleach + mixing stains trying to get a white=grey aged look and I absolutely do not want any shine. I just discovered this thread and I think these products will be perfect for what we are looking for. I"m excited to give it a try.
My question is this: We have very old 1.5 inch wide red oak floors that need to be patched, mostly around previous vents that are larger than our new hvac openings. I am having a hard time finding suitable old wood to patch so I am resorting to patching with the same size of new red oak. Will the finishes be able to blend with HWO? Or should I resort to pulling up the old floor in one of the rooms to patch and replacing that room? Perhaps it will take some experimentation with different finishes to blend old and new.
Thank you!
Lauren
