   Do you mean you want it tongue and grooved on edges and ends?

   Yes, there are two issues.  One is that we need to have the ends and edges t&g and we need consistenly accurate lengths to make a large area pattern work out without gaps.

   Try to get ahold of Zickgraf in Franklin, NC.  Largest manufacturer in the industry that I know of.

   If 411 or google don't provide, try Nantahala Lumber same town.

   Thanks for the lead, I tried their website, but didn't find what I am looking for.  I tried to email them, but it said I needed a referral and wouldn't take my email.  So, I printed a fax request and will try that way or call them tomorrow.

   Sphere, what is an HO?  (hope it has nothing to do with the urban definition!)

   I am looking for about 2800 in the whole house, but just need about a third of that in the open area where I will use the herringbone pattern. 

   I was hoping for a bit wider than 2 1/4" but may consider it if I can't find wider. 

   One last item, 12% MC?  We like to be under 9% before we install here in WV. 

   Thanks

   HO is an abbreviation for a home owner, as in not a professional contractor, etc.

   They kiln dry to 8 or 9, but AMBIENT will get ya up to 12 I bet, by the time you install it..here in KY, ambient is close to 15.  Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks
