Cupcakes-
We got some new boards in our dining room (builder fitted them without really discussing it, I would definitely have got reclaimed if I could have).
The grain isn't as interesting as with the older boards and when I was sanding them they went a bit weird and powdery and the sander slipped around a bit so watch out for that.
One of the Polyx oil tints like the Amber might look really nice on them to make them look a bit less new.

When you say new boards, are you buying new or reclaimed boards?
