Latest side job.

Here's what I've been working on for the last couple of weeks or so. With installing it, scheduling the sanding and coating, and covering the floor, it's been pretty time consuming. But it has turned out to be my best work to date.

The floor is 4 inch rustic Walnut. It's been sanded and has two coats of oil based sealer on it. That's why it's so shiny. It will be getting two more coats of water based polyurethane, which will give it a satin finish.



The border in the living room is 3 boards wide, which makes it one foot wide in total. The center will be getting carpet.


The joints of the border are done "log cabin" or "herring bone." I chose that style because it believe that it is stronger than miters and I think that it fits the style of the house much better.



Thats 'bout it for now. I've got some cool stuff that I'm doing on Thursday and Friday, so until then.
