   Is it really pine? That is pretty soft for flooring--I know 'cause I have it in my kitchen!! Be prepared for scratches and dents and grooves. It begins to look sort of interesting that way.

   *I have a pine floor in a cabin and use the Waterlox original finish, available from Woodworker's Supply. The folks I got my flooring from (Carlisle Restoration Lumber) recommended this finish as it is a tung oil like product with resins added to survive on floors. I have been very happy with this finish. I did 3 coats to start with and after the first 2 years added another coat after a light sanding. The only odd thing was that on this last coat, I got some beading of the finish. I think this means that I didn't sand well enough.The comment on dents and scratches is very true, any thing with weight or speed that hits the floor is going leave a dent.
