Hand Scraped Floors

I am curious how many you guys come across this, here in the DFW area that's about all we do I would say its about 90% hand scraped and 10% smooth finish

Not a thing in Western North Carolina. Most everyone around here gets the smooth. You run across a cabin every once in a while where someone wants the hand scraped but not many at all.

Very few here in Illinois but I saw more when I lived in Arizona.

first time I heard of such a thing. You might like to go around and slap the floor with a chain here and there.

I chuckle every time I see an advertisement for floors "hand distressed with old world craftsmanship".

Floors used to be hand scraped to take a rough sawn piece of wood closer to smooth with primitive tools.

Now we use cutting edge technology to make perfectly flat flooring, then "hand scrape" it so that it's not smooth anymore.

Strange thing to call "old world craftsmanship"

well it takes the craftmansship out of it. Half the guy's can't do a smooth finish now without it having so many waves it looks like the ocean
we use nothing but # 2. Most of the scrapes go across grain but a few want with grain which is a little harder. Scraped across grain is to rough for me I like the distressed look.

It is pretty popular here, also.

That is basically all I did last year, and so far this year 3 small jobs with it.
