Re: Best wood floor to buy?

If i ever decide to swap out for new wood I'm going with the southern yellow pine like factory. Brothers had it and with a price that seemed reasonable.

I cant remember what I paid for the oak floor in my 75 from Mar-k.

Do you still have the board dimensions handy by chance? My bed came with no wood at all, and I'm having trouble finding the dimensions online.
