wood wall

[doc henderson]

@DonW I love the panel wall, and one I may consider.  see what the wife thinks.  A big thing in places is a quilt block pattern, on old barns made from wood.  usually painted and somehow represents the family.  anyone have these or understand the pattern.  like a coat of arms, especially in old farm county, Amish ect.  It would be differing wood species as a focal point, not the whole wall.  we are doing the snap together planks for the same reason.  5 door thresholds, and trying to work through them, and not put a cross piece.  we have in floor radiant heat, so not a fan of nails into the floor.

Thanks, very enjoyable work. When I ran short on sawn stock for panels I remembered a leftover oak out back which I rived  into quarter stock to finish out gluing up the remainder

Your floor idea sounds like a parquet. Simplify by grooves at parimeter with splines. No nails required.

getting though a door jam into another room is the issue.  snap together requires a left to right placement, with some backwards stuff on a small scale.  trimming and getting under the jams when the plank is parallel to the door is tough.  I think the door stops are glued and cannot be removed.  I want to lay though the door into the next room without a transition piece.  I also have a flooring to carpet transition, and can buy a piece for that.
