Wood being wood, they could have culled it during install. The finisher sounds lilt he wok do the right thing.

Because it's not finished and it's real wood. Now go mix up some cake batter, put it in the pans, take a picture and ask "why does my cake look like this".

Whoa. You’re angry. Just a person who knows nothing about flooring asking because she knows there are people who are skilled in it. Thank you for your helpful comment, Timothy.

You're welcome!
