Abstract
A method and an apparatus for sealing a solid wood floor with wax and a solid wood floor are provided. The method includes: providing a solid wood floor, where the solid wood floor has two end surfaces defining boundaries of a length dimension of the solid wood floor; and spraying at least one of the two end surfaces with wax. When the wax is sprayed on the at least one end surface, a portion of the wax penetrates into the pores and becomes solidified to seal the pores, and another portion of the wax adheres to the at least one end surface and becomes solidified to form a wax film on the at least one end surface. Therefore, external moisture can be prevented from entering an interior of the solid wood floor; external dust, water, etc. can be prevented from entering between two solid wood floors paved adjacently.
