My new solid oak floor has developed an unsightly crack around one of the knots (about 5 inches worth of cracking). The product has a factory -lacquered finish and the lacquer has cracked, causing the knot to rise up out of the plank slightly, giving an uneven, rough feel. What causes this and what can I do? The installer took RH readings and assured me these were normal but the wood was laid straight from the box - no time to acclimatise. Could this be the cause?
Thanks for any help.
