Absolutely gorgeous...VERY high end look...

I'm guessing that it would have to be glued in place?  What I am using floats on top of a roll of underlayment and click snaps together.  I don't think it lends itself to this type of design.  After being repeatedly told by the different flooring dealers I gave up on that idea and have changed up the plans.

matter a fact not...

the core free floats on a dried film of rubber cement and is held in place by the hewed walnut...

the floor has a film of the rubber cement on it as does the core design...

If that entry was mine, I'd make people come in the back, then escort them to the front to view or at least have those little Tyvek slippers to put on over their shoes before walking across.

It would be like walking on the Mona Lisa...which would bother me less.

Think it was a double post but all he could do was delete text, not the post.

after we drank from it...

wait till you see the stairs and what the soccer team did to them..

I'm getting that one ready to post...

@Stick 

What did you use to lay out the pattern?  A Cad/Cam program or trial & error?

More likely sheer experience?

I like the 3d effect.

 

Wife is now thinking a lazy susan would look great with that design.

Probably well above my skill level/pay grade

 

smitty

 

overlay the material into a design..

adapt off of existing designs... (often several)

already made veneer templates of different species and then scaled to fit...

or here.. this is what I want only different...

VOE fits in here someplace...

 

 

but there wasn't enough of everything so I stretched what I had using poplar veneer made to look like ebony to give it the 3D look...

because the finished medallion didn't look right  (wrecked angle/Fibonacci thing) I added the walnut to increase the size and to keep the medallion from blending in...

the walnut was left over flooring from a gun cabinet that was done to look like box car siding...

the walnut was surface damaged/distressed so I scorped it to camo the damage...

My Ukrainian wife keeps to tradition.  No shoes in the house.  Amazing how everything last longer when you are not bringing in outside mud, sawdust, grease etc etc into the house.   High heels, not likely.
