Now that the floors are all sanded and smooth I had to apply the stain to match the new in with the old wood. This is always a difficult task as no two stains are the same. Even the same stain from the same manufacturer with different lot numbers can be different enough that you can tell. Once when took possession of the house I asked the selling agent to contact the previous owners to find out what stain had been used on the floor. Luck for us they knew the color (English Chestnut). With a bit a patience and effort I was able to blend in the new and old wood fairly well. I can still see the line but I know where to look :)
