All I can say is WOW.
I would sure like to be able to cut flooring to fit like that.
How do you get your ends to be so exact. The tongue and groove
I can handle but cutting each piece to be that exact in length.
Must be more to it than just a good chopsaw.

The samples look good.

What do you expect the flooring to look like after a few years of the wood changing equilibrium mc ??

It is a tough pattern to keep looking good, from all I hear.

What kind of oak is that rustic oak, it sure is some good looking stuff.

All our flooring is dryed to between 7 and 10 % mc so there shouldent be a lot of problem with movement.

It is white oak.
