Herringbone laid up to a stone threshold, with the golf course beyond the glass.
The same herringbone, scribed around the curve of the bar.
Herringbone carried across the whole great room rather than stopped at the doorway.
Every board along that curve is an individual cut.
Winder treads on a curved flight — each one is scribed to its own footprint.
Dark treads against a limed oak cap, up the curve of the wall.
Wide plank scribed tight to the stone of the hearth.
The moisture barrier over the leveled slab. This is the layer nobody sees and the one that decides whether the floor lasts.
Self-leveler filling the low spots. Flat first, then the barrier, then the floor.
The finished floor in the same room — three photos and about a week apart.
Oak treads, painted risers, and a runner over a checkerboard marble entry.
Looking down the winders. The runner is cut and bound to each tread.
The whole flight, from the landing down.
The upstairs hall in the same oak that runs down the stairs.
Oak run up to a black slate hearth, cut square and tight.
Wide-plank oak through the kitchen, where most people are told to use tile.
Self-leveler down the hall. It has to be dead flat before anything goes over it.
A marble mosaic runner set flush into herringbone oak, with a mitered oak border.
The entry the runner was built for.
Straight down the inlay. The border had to be mitered at every corner.
Oak treads over hand-glazed tile risers, with the LED tucked under each nosing.
The finished flight, lit.

Treads, risers, and floor all cut from the same limed oak.
The mitered tread return. Done properly there is no end grain showing.
Oak treads, painted risers, iron balusters — the carpet-to-hardwood conversion people ask for most.
The newel and the first three treads, where the geometry has to be right.
Acacia laid out in a room with the baseboards still off.
Carried through the doorway rather than stopped with a T-moulding.
A mitered change of direction at the hearth, cut on site.
Wood to travertine, flush, with no metal strip between them.
The transition detail from the other side.
Two hard surfaces meeting on one line.
Scribed into the corner between two column bases.
Working around the furniture, room by room.
Acacia, mitered into the hearth surround.
The mitre lines up across three boards.
The figure in acacia is the reason people choose it.
A clean square line where the wood stops.
Straight through from hall to bedroom, no threshold.
Late afternoon on a finished acacia floor.
The dining room, back in service.
Scribed around two cabinet bases in one run.
Cut to follow rough stone. There is no straight line to work from here.

Brazilian cherry, refinished. The color range is in the wood, not the stain.
Sanded back to bare wood, everything masked, before the first coat.
The same floor with the finish on it.
Adhesive combed out around a vent boot. The ridges have to collapse, not hold air.
Tile to wood, with a transition milled from the same oak.
Engineered white oak, which is the safer call this close to the water.
One step down, with the nosing mitered so no end grain shows.
A sunken living room edge, wrapped in the same oak.
Wood and stone brought up dead level with each other.
Character-grade oak — knots and all — in a new build.
The landing, matched to the treads below it.
A full carpet-to-oak staircase conversion, treads and risers both.
Where the stair lands on the travertine.
Side on, the mitered returns run the length of the flight.
