TOFINO: There are five tribes locally as part of the Nuu-chah-nulth tribal council: Ahousaht, Hesquiaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Toquaht, and Ucluelet. Directly across Tofino on Meares Island is the village of Opitsaht (Tla-o-qui-aht) that is over 5,000 years old. Older than the Aztec!

The forests and waters of the region provided the Nuu-chah-nulth with salmon, cod, halibut and shellfish. Also, the Nuu-chah-nulth were one of the only tribes in the world that hunted grey whales.

It’s such an honour to learn about and explore this magical area. With deep gratitude we thank the Nuu-chah-nulth people for their hospitality.

Aerial view at the top of the Cox Bay Trail. Had a fantastic hike after a long of week work and travel with the #plankandsaw crew. We love that with our work we get to see the most amazing places and homes 💪

Before and after at our favourite local YYJ Italia

Before and after at our favourite local YYJ Italian restaurant; @zambrisrestaurant.

Super challenging week considering one of our main workers got shut down at the beginning with Covid symptoms. The rest of our team really stepped with a quick 4 day turnaround for a fairly major 1,600sq’ sand & finish. Stained with @bona_canada Dryfast; 5 part ‘Natural’ x 1 part ‘Cocoa’ then top coated with @loba_on_top 2K Supra “ExtraMatte” for extreme durability. We’ll be back again next January to maintain with an extra coat of ExtraMatte to keep it looking fresh!

1,600sq’ of @coswick.parket we supplied and inst

1,600sq’ of @coswick.parket we supplied and installed throughout this Gordon Head rancher. Coswick flooring is now available to purchase at @plankandsaw. Lots of stock warehoused on the west coast = no unnecessary supply chain stress. Beautiful product, really nice ‘silk’ finish and with a 20-80% RH tolerance Coswick is one of the most dimensionally stable wide plank floors on the market. Perfect for our west coast climate. Hit us up for more info or sampling 🪵🪚

@__k_t_w_p__ is a local Vancouver artist we’ve followed on Instagram for a while & have always greatly admired his work (how could you not). When Kyle reached out to consult about a condo he was purchasing with existing parquet flooring we jumped on the opportunity to trade craft for craft, floor for quilt. A fitting last project of a very busy 2021 & one of the more meaningful, working along side a fellow craftsperson we admire. Merry Christmas to everyone but especially to all the builders, makers and craftspeople out there 👨‍🎨

Restoration work is not a straight line from start

Restoration work is not a straight line from start to finish. You must carefully assess and strategize, look over the whole project, and figure the progress and sanding sequence. A daily conference with our team and client, we may change our tactics depending upon what the floor is asking of us. Like any new project or phase in life, you must take time to sit back and just look, recalculate if necessary. With thought, care, skill and attention to detail the results will speak for themselves.

Project details;
• 110 year old Douglas Fir restoration (1,200sq’ + set of stairs)
• Stain: Bona; 6 part ‘natural’ x 1 part ‘Cocoa’
• Finish: LOBA Supra AT 2K “Satin”

Throwback to this installation at the world famous

Throwback to this installation at the world famous @fairmontempress in the “Royal Suite”. Herringbone infill features custom milled on-site and engineered oak flooring glued down throughout. Rumour has it that this suite rents for up to $20k per night 🤑

A recent @plankandsaw restoration project in Victo

A recent @plankandsaw restoration project in Victoria, BC (Oak Bay). White Oak 2-1/4” solid strip flooring with a mahogany in-lay feature that was originally installed in the 1940s. We removed the old oil-base polyurethane finish by sanding it down to bare wood and then re-finished using the LOBA On Top! “Invisible Protect” system

Looking fine at 80+ years ✨

Knowledge is power and hardwood flooring is one of the biggest investments homeowners make building or renovating. Let us help you make the smart, safe choice as we offer both supply and installation for high quality and ethical wood flooring products 🪵🪚

Interested in learning more about local, sustainable wood building materials? Sign up for the @westwindhardwood newsletter (link in B). The next mail out they talk about Chevron (Hungarian Point) and Herringbone flooring patterns. I offered some insight based on my 25+ years of flooring experience and provided them photos of 3 @plankandsaw projects completed in the last year featuring Chevron & Herringbone flooring 🪵

We are loving their recent restoration of the Hickory hardwood @agriusrestaurant in #yyj. Keeping in synch with the restaurant’s local and organic foods, they used a hard oil finish based on 100% natural vegetable oil with no solvents or VOC’s. See more photos in our stories.

#WIP before & during pics of a kitchen restoration in progress. 100+ year old home featuring original O.G. Doug Fir flooring that badly needed a new caring homeowner that will properly maintain them. A pleasure and so satisfying to see what a transformation a week can make. Also shouts to our newest employee @jackhudone on his first @plankandsaw restoration project. A job well done if we say so ourselves 👏
