Wood flooring and breathing?
)

I renovated my grandparent hand made house and saved the original wood flooring. It is pine (unfortunately) but was lumbered and milled by my grandfather. Some of the boards are 9–11” wide. It is not tongue and groove but is screwed and dolled down.
I had it refinished and it is beautiful except for the fairly wide cracks between the boards which of course collect junk.
I wanted to fill the crackes with epoxy or varathane or something. My floor guy cautioned against that because he said the boards need to breath and because the shrinking and expanding every year (the house is in N. Mich. So humid in the summer and very cold in the winter) would just crack whatever filler I put in and then I would just have cracks full of crumbled up filler.
Does anyone have a suggestion for what to do about my cracks other than vacuum every day? Thx, kjh
