End Grain Block Flooring At Cartolina

Guest post past times Fiona of Cartolina

As business office of our ongoing projection to update the Cartolina studio nosotros decided that nosotros needed a workshop. Doug built an improver onto the studio as well as decided to complete the flooring using 'end grain block flooring'. It's truly a truly sometime fashion of flooring that was usually used on mill floors inward the 19th century.We had around leftover beam ends inward the shed from a previous projection - kiln dried fir- as well as he laid to work, slicing them upwards into 3" x 7" blocks, nearly 3/4 inches thick. It took him quite a long fourth dimension to spell upwards all the blocks as well as sand the edges. Once he had prepared 850 blocks he glued them to the plywood flooring using a non H2O based, flexible flooring adhesive. It was dorsum breaking work(so he tells me!) As presently equally it was dry out he applied a coat of Watco crude oil stain as well as ii coats of crude oil based clear finish. The results are spectacular. It has the hold back of cobble stones but amongst a rustic as well as warm feel. And best of all, it alone cost the cost of the mucilage as well as the finish!  If you'd similar to know to a greater extent than nearly this procedure you lot tin e-mail Doug at doug@douglasjones.com
