WFB asked wood floor pros on Facebook and Instagram what they look at the way Gollum looks at his ring. Here’s what they said:
Max Losch:
The final check. 😂😂

That perfectly sharpened scraper. No one else is allowed to touch it.
David Sharpton Jr.:
Cash from the homeowner.
Bob Alberding:
That one board that the customer will coincidentally choose to point out and say they hate it.
Brian David Schultz:
That 6-foot board in a bundle of shorties.
Matt Garcia:
When a new employee is actually as good as they say they are!
Tobe Del:
Those old-school Wagner scrapers. 🤤🤤🤤

The oscillating saw after it came out and we didn’t have to use a chisel anymore.

Figured lumber.

A dialed-in Super 7R.

My favorite nail set that’s been hidden in the van console for who knows how long.
