Disaster in Columbus: Let the bodies hit the floor

I actually like the darker stain. It eliminates the wild grain look of the first floor.
Then you should paint your fucking floors and call the cheapest floor guy you can find
JMO.
The boards of the first floor (this one) took the stain differently. Some darker than others. The grain isn't uniform, it's sporadic and wild looking. The transition at the two rooms (you've already gave the explanation) looks rank.
Using the dark stain, you've successfully eliminated the 'wild' grain look and the visibly noticeable transition at the two rooms.

Also, it's same color stain. The first time was how it's supposed to be applied. the second time is with it slopped on a dark as possible. It's the wrong way to do it. The floor will likely peel along the edges of the boards as they expand and contract with the seasons. I warned the guy and told I will not be responsible for the floors peeling. Congrats, you agreed with the idiot customer who likes all the boards the same color but doesn't want to use paint. LOL the guys is a fucking idiot because I explained why stain was the wrong choice for what he thought he wanted. Stain and poly are for transparent applications. That means you see the variations in the wood. Furniture is not a fair comparison because we can't use the same techniques. You don't fucking walk on furniture
I would imagine the Owner has a Plan, a Look, a Space that he has in mind that he wants to express. The wild and kaleidoscope flooring may not have fit in with HIS VISION.
(I know you as a Flooring Mechanic have a different perspective. You think everybody should walk through a House and stare at the floor)
hahaha ... we all have our preferences.
It helps when your preferences are grounded in reality, though. Really. It's not fair to demand I bend light. I can not make light refract the same off a stained floor in areas with curving grain or knotty burled wood. Oak floors are filled with such areas. Everywhere! Light delivers color, not the boards themselves
