Joey showed me some pictures of a floor his company recently did. Not my floor. Heck, no. I want to make that clear, right from the start, that this is not my floor. This is a Very Expensive Floor. Also, a Very Beautiful Floor. When I saw it, I just had to share it with you.
It started out like this:
The floor is red oak, Brazilian tiger wood, and—get this—brass inlays. Joe said those brass inlays were a real pain in the hiney to cut.
Here's the floor after they finished laying it all out:
See the brass strips over on the right side of the photo?
Here's a closer (if a bit blurry) photo of the brass inlays.
Yowza. These people have skills.
And just feast your eyes on the finished floor:
Wow. Just WOW. That's a seriously beautiful floor.
