not only had complicated coatings to be
removed, it also had massive damage from
years of termite activity.
The removal of layers of accumulated finishes
took a back seat to the careful reconstruction of
thousands of damaged
pieces of wood flooring
in the intricate pattern floors. Approximately
18,000 of square feet of maple floors were badly
damaged from previous
termite infestation when
this project was started in fall of 1998. Several
thousand square feet of
quarter sawed oak were
also suffering from excessive sanding.
By the time this project is
completed in 2002, close to 23,000 square feet
of maple, mahogany, oak and teak will have
been completely restored in time for the museums
centennial celebration. These floors are well
prepared to face another hundred years.
Flagler
Museum Project Overview
Stan Hywet Hall - Akron, OH
Since the projects beginning in
early 1991, thousands of square
feet of aged teak and quarter sawed
white oak have been carefully
restored to their original look.
Years of accumulated materials
have been carefully removed to
reveal wood that was originally
hand planed and hand tooled
when this magnificent structure
was built at the turn of the century.
These unique tooling marks are as
visible today as they were almost
a century ago. The Rosebud Co.
is proud to point out that there has
been no loss of original wood
flooring materials as a result of
our extensive restoration.

in the mid-19th
century, this wonderful Victorian
cottage once the residence of author
Joel Chandler Harris, has the
original heart pine floors that were
buried under layers of aged varnish
and maintenance products and
were in dire need of attention. The
150 year old heart of pine floors
had never been sanded, a very rare
find in inner city housing. The
natural color from 150 years of aging
with nothing but a clear coating
over the restored wood can be seen
at this
Atlanta
landmark.
Rhodes Hall -
Atlanta, GA
Built in the early 1900's by Amos
Rhodes, the beautiful pattern and
parquet floors contain no less
than seven different specie of
handsome and exotic woods.
Using environmentally safe
chemicals, the thick layers of
dark and discolored products
were removed to expose beautiful
parquet floors that literally not
seen the light of day for decades.
Today, these intricate and
handsome floors not only
reflect the original intent of the
owners but also serve as a
background to countless festive
occasions.
