View Full Version : Help! Replacing end tongues

We have reclaimed some old white oak flooring. Because some of the flooring butted up to the wall, we will need to put tongues on some and make grooves on others. We have no problem making the grooves, but need some help with the tongues. Can someone please tell me how to do this, or where to take this wood to have the tongues added?

Please help! Some of these old boards are 15 feet long and have the prettiest grain I have ever seen.

Thank you so much.

Order or buy some slip tongues, also called splines
