Parquet in american oak. I cannot take the credit of having made the pieces but at least I can say that I have put them down. The maker is a dear friend who can be found at www.naturaviva.net – A chip off a woodworking block that has been around here in the south of Italy for more generations than he can remember. He invents his tools for making things, mostly driven by compressed air, but this is none of my business to discuss.
The tiles are 20 by 20 cm and the boards 90 by 10 cm, all in 25 mm oak. Underneath we put 15 mm cork pannels to insulate. Finnish in mineral oil and then wax. At this stage of our project we sanded them down after putting them in place but we are working on a method of realising a product ready to put down with no aftermath.of dust etc.

The dog’s shedding blends right in with the flooring. That is a reall plus. I have two pure-bred black-shedders. My wife said NO to my doing a black floor.

Oh my… I didnt realise there were so many budding comedians lurking under the LJ site!!
So as not to be out done, was the dog was done on a 3D printer? certainly looks realistic
Great work on the flooring as well, I have wanted to do my veranda and add a couple of french knots just to be able to see what sort of a result I could make.
Regards
Have your say...
