RE: Ever make hardwood flooring? - Scoony - 02-08-2019
There was a guy up in Southern Indiana that had a huge machine in his shop that milled flooring. You take rough cut lumber and rip down to width, then run it through the machine. The machine did all the cutting, planning, edging all in one shot and produced flooring. Pretty cool machine, but would take up an entire 2 car garage.
I had bought a bunch of walnut from him years ago.

Just checked with a local sawmill that also does flooring -- he will make flooring from his kiln-dried lumber for $1/sf. I'm looking at his Ash ($2.50 bf) for our new house but LOML is looking at "engineered" floors.

Who installed and finished ~2,500 sq. ft. of 3 1/4" rift and QS white oak in his home addition/remodel (bought it all). Very rewarding to enjoy and walk on this floor every day! Greg, if I had the wood, time and tools as you seem to have, I'd definitely take this one on - it's worth it. Pics please!!!
Yes correct no T & G on the ends. Square ends, T & G on the edges.
