Did you try Sterrit? They should have them in stock or could order if you need more than a 4'
They are not like they used to be.... Seems like I am seeing four pieces laminated together more often now whereas they used to be just one or two pieces. New ones require more support under front lip..... seen a number of them split.

threshold
I gave up using commercially made thresholds as they never held up usually red oak, laminated and even with linseed oil were useless.
I would recommend a run to Downes and Reader, buy 8/4 dressed White oak to 1 3/4", I think they may have it in the retail rack, and make your own.
I have no affiliation with D&R just been a customer since day one.
If by "People's Republic" you live in Cambridge go to Anderson Mcquaid on Fawcett St.,they literally have everything.... may even have old school white oak thresholds

If it is in good shape, I have glued them back together using a domino, which is a larger oval shaped biscuit. It works and the glue joint is strongest point. Just need to add support.

One is toast. The other might be fine. Thanks for the suggestion. |
