FANTASTIC work!

The tool that you see in the video is called a “Fein Multimaster.” There is another speciality saw that was used that is not shown called a “Festool.” It is basically a souped up version of a circular saw with a track system. Thanks for watching!

The color will not blend with time, as the rest of the floor is finished with an oil modified finish. Normally, we would sand the entire floor to get a color match, especially when going from an OMU to a water based finish. We had to have this floor walkable the following day as it is in our office; we were limited to a water based finish for the inlay. Water based finishes are very hard to blend, but time will blend it some if the job is water based to water based match. Thanks for Watching!

Looks nice. Does the color from sanding just outside the inlay (which I understand you have to do to get the whole floor flat) blend in with the rest of the exsisting floor over time with a waterbased product. We are having trouble blending our floors from the exsisting to the new. Such as a repair.
