Matte Corbin Mahogany

The Master bedroom now has a Matte Corbin Mahogany Engineered Hardwoord floor. Sounds impressive, right? I picked this floor up at the Home Depot in Houston last week, at a great bargain price. It was easy to put in and looks pretty nice, if I do say so myself.

What still needs to be done is the baseboards finish. As I still have some Cedar left, I will use that to make the baseboards.
Hopefully I will get that done tomorrow.
Update: The baseboards are in now (Thursday). I did not put up a new room picture, as it’s hard to see from a distance, but it looks finished now. The baseboards were made from the seemingly everlasting stock of surplus cedar. It was a bit of work, as I first had to convert my router table to a table saw using the router mounting hole to fit the cordless circular saw, and as I like to keep all my ten fingers, I wanted to make sure it worked safely.
Then I took some thicker and larger cedar boards and sliced them up to baseboard dimensions, and used the router to round the top edge. I also made a threshold to make the transition from mahogany to tile (see below). The only downside of the relatively dark color, is that dust is well visible; I’ll have to get a swiffer for the bedroom.
