Tom,

thanks for taking the time to share the details. i find this very interesting but just to be sure you have an OSB sub floor (albeit multiple layers). i assume the membrane is next but not sure if it is just floating as a barrier or fixed somehow. then you have wood veneer glued and nailed to OSB. is this another layer of OSB or is this subfloor OSB? how thick are the veneers?

i made traditional wood flooring for a friend that was variable width. it came out really nice. i agree that std wood flooring can be boring. i do like the wide plank look of old days with plugged screws.

?? imran, ? Yeah it's not really cost effective, but I wanted to try it and see what happened.? If I do it again I would just resaw 4 or 5 qtr? hardwood once and screw and plug it down. I did it because nobody on woodweb would say it was possible. It was a fun test. The new wood flooring glues are amazing.? I built up an osb sub floor with two and sometimes 3 sheets of 1/2" osb glued and nailed with joints staggered. I used a membrane designed to put wood flooring over concrete under the osb. The veneers were then glued with Bostik glue and top nailed with pin nails right onto the osb. The whole floor was floating. You really don't need T$G flooring, as old time floors were just boards nailed down anyway.? I didn't care if there were any gaps, but so far it's held tight and no gaps. I made sure the 10 ft lengths were straight. I hate the look of cheap wood floors with narrow, short boards. I wanted something different.
