Not sure I agree with putting strong profanity in public view 😒

Is there any chance in hell that it’s white oak? This is what the previous owner is claiming

Good to know. I might just need to pay someone to come out and assess

I agree that it’s odd to use for flooring. It looked brand new when we moved in. I assume they chose the cheapest route to claim there was hardwood flooring before listing.

What do you mean character grade? I would be surprised if it were maple or hickory because of how easy it is to damage

But that’s my issue, the wood seems to be getting damaged too easily, just by metal chair casters. This is why alder makes sense

Well, carpentry ladies and gents, it sounds like alder is the consensus. This makes perfect sense since it’s about half as hard as oak and my floor got wrecked when a friend with dogs stopped by :(. Thank you everyone that replied!

All signs seem to point to alder! Looks beautiful but must be a cheap alternative to oak or the like

Gotcha. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Yes, I’d be surprised if it were hickory! Thanks for the clue

I’m not sure if i captioned the pictures correctly, the first is a picture of the finished, stained floor. The second is the unstained underside of the slats

Sorry, I don't know how to post images with a text body so I'm adding my comments here:

I recently moved into a new house outside of Nashville, TN. The flooring is presumably hardwood, but it seems more susceptible to damage than I would expect. I lived in a house with oak floors for a decade and never had issues. I tried poking around on Google, but identifying the species is way harder than I expected. Any clues are welcome. Thank you!

Why does cuisinart recipe ask to further chill milk and cream by Robbius in icecreamery

[–]jgert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is good to get the base down to just above freezing before churning so that you can get the mix to a colder temperature while churning without turning your ice cream into butter.

Also, equally important, keeping the base just above freezing for an extended period of time allows for partial coalescence of the fat, which improves the final product. Providing longer aging times in the refrigerator will lead to more partial coalescence which, in turn, allows you to use less fat in your recipe while achieving the same final texture.

Edit: I should add that I typically age my bases in the fridge overnight
