As part of our home renovation, we installed new spruce floorboards in one room and sanded them together with the leftover boards, some of which are up to 60 years old. We then oiled everything, following the instructions exactly.
As you can see in the pictures, the oil has barely absorbed into the new floorboards and they look quite bad. The old boards look great at first glance, but also have some areas that appear noticeably “greasy” or uneven, especially around the knots. What could be the reason for this? Why didn’t the oil absorb at all into the untreated new spruce boards? Everything was first sanded with 40-grit and then 80-grit using a large disc sander. Do you have any tips on how to fix the floor?
Thanks and best regards
Lukas
