My house is 200 years old and we have wide pine floors, when I refinished them I used wide cordage soaked in the same color stain and after 2 days of soaking I then stuffed it in the gap’s and secured it with crown staples. Then applied the stain and polyurethane and it looks amazing.
My wife refuses to change the windows as she loves the old leaded glass so I have begun refinishing them and despite they have zero insulation there is something about the look that can’t be reproduced.
Our home maybe old and right now I am sanding and replacing the trim and other things that need attention, I am happy to say that I have zero PVC on my home. Everything is wood or stone and by far better built than some of my customers newer homes.
It’s been hard work but it will be worth it when I get done in a few more weeks!

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I'm thinking if I do this I might clean out the gaps first before sanding at all, trowel on the filter, then sand everything at the end and seal. But that's because I'm nervous about removing too much floor depth...
I've read that historically they used to reuse old worn out nautical ropes from ships. The ropes had oil in them to make them water resistant and durable. When they were too worn to be used at sea anymore, they would uncoil them and pack the fiber strands into the gaps between floors. This would help prevent drafts while also filling the unsightly spaces between the boards. These are still sold today by a few shops! A bonus is that you can also stain the rope fibers to match your boards.

I have wide pine boards in my 40 year old house. Yep crack! Lots of them. I sit on the floor with a knife, dig it out and vacuum. Tried filing in the kitchen. Nope. Made a mess. I only did a couple. Vacuum. Sweep. Mop. Clean cracks, but I love my floors. Bedrooms have 1x4 scratch back flooring. All pine, walls and ceilings too. 1x6 center match V groove. Yes, I worked in the office at the sawmill where this was produced. W.E.Hill Lumber Co. Best people ever! Beautiful clear hand picked wood for my house. ♥️♥️♥️

My dad used the sander wood dust mixed into white glue no special floor product needed. I prefer removing one long side baseboard and tap the shrunken boards snug then add the missing width with another board and put baseboard back on. Some people saw a house shifts with seasons and the small gaps in floors prevent buckling.

These gaps look fairly normal to me (I'm living in a 200 years old house). Even concrete and screed expand and buckle slightly when heating up, which you can see if tiles are laid without giving them expansion joints. They might even crack. Got a tiled floor example of that. So, filling these gaps between the wooden planks will only work it the material is flexible enough. Otherwise, you will have a DIY problem.

When moisture increases and the boards swell slightly in the winter, the boards will crack it out, worse cases the boards flex up bowing the whole floor. It isna terrible idea.
Oh and don't sand floors, unless you have to remove an old thick finish. It destroys the patina and often creates more problems such as making them to thin, or exposing old worm hole runs.

I have the same kind of pine with gaps flooring in my old farmhouse bedrooms. Farmhouse was build in 1915. Downstairs living room, kitchen and dining room all have regular hardwood maple flooring.
So the soft wood flooring is a real deal - for all those that claim that pictured in this video is a subfloor.

In Finland they used to have a solution for gaps in the floor, they didn't nail the boards down. After the boards dry and shrink they would remove the base board on one side and then tighten the floorboards back up and place a new board in.
There's a video from the 70s where you see them installing this type of floor in a traditional log home they built. Don't think i saw them use nails except for the roofing.
