I didn’t see where you talked about what you did with the sawdust and poly.

'Just wondering if the subfloor was already level, or what did you do to ensure that the new install was level?

When you said "the end of the grain", does it mean is the back side of the tile?
It looks to me that instead of cutting wood planks transversal, the idea was to cut "slices" from the tree trunk...You can see the rings ( one ring is added per new growth season of a live tree and equals 1 year per ring )...

Probably the most unique flooring I've ever seen. It's incredible. The border is a great accent. Very well done.

Absolutely beautiful! What did you do with the poly and the sawdust? Did you use it like grout?

How did you secure the wood to the floor? I only see about doing the grout/sealer.

I forgot to include my comment, after the question: looks fenomenal and the finished product is amazing! You have to be very proud of all the time and effort spent. Only crafters at heart ( I'm including myself ) will envision and transfer it to reality!

He mixed it together to make the "grout" and filled in all the gaps between the wood tiles he made, let it dry and then sanded it all.
