The answer to your question is:<br /><br />Handscraped or sanded is a choice of look and feel only, it will not neccesarily affect the durability of the floor. Handscraped is simply a surface effect to add texture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217668657026245913.post-84333385544469298782010-03-10T20:34:30.178Z2010-03-10T20:34:30.178ZHi, I have a question about another oak, white oak. We&#39;re trying to decide if we should go with hand scraped or sanded due to concerns about heel dents, etc. Solid HW, not engineered. It&#39;s a darker, &quot;antiquish&quot; stain but we don&#39;t know if we would like to make it even more antique/rustic looking with the hand scraped. We don&#39;t want to be overly stressed when we entertain is our primary issue.<br /><br />Any advice would be appreciated!BPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540761474496497146noreply@blogger.com
