I've cutting and using black locust for years in northern NY state. Most consider it a trash tree with no value. They're wrong. Every where else in the world they are trying to grow it. Our government pays farmers to grow beans and corn so we can have cheap sugar to keep our people fat and sickly. Some comments on here talk of forest devastation to produce this floor. Mis-informed morons. Locust trees on the east coast of north America are growing like weeds. With managment they could provide usable wood , bio-mass , and reduce carbon emissions. Our state has "millions" of acres of un-used land along roads and industrial areas that could produce millions of board feet of locust wood. Locust is a nitrogen fixing colonizing tree that does great in any sunny area. I grow, use, burn , cut and sell black locust wood. If any one wants to plant this amazing tree I'll give you seeds. You pay the postage. I also sell root cuttings will soon sell blocks for flooring ( video soon, my channel, my name).
Dude, making this alley is more "eco friendly" than making all this Chinese mass produced crap most people use and buy on a daily basis. This kind of floor used to be very popular back in the days. New trees will grow on their place and such floor can stay in a great shape for a very long time, outliving our grandchildren.
@@xRoSkii The lifetime of the pavement can easily be comparable to the time it takes for the trees to grow. So you can sustain the wooden pavement indefinitely without running out of resources. Same cannot be told about asphalt, as you cannot "grow" new crude oil or basalt.
@@vajkfekete2635 Absolutely correct. In my area of northern NY state ,( USA) , locust trees grow like weeds beside the road and are not used commercially for anything. Yet.
I don't think it would go that high. Most hardwoods around here are about 1.50 a board foot. Thos blocks look like 4x4x 6 or 4 bf each , so $6 each? That's rough sawn though , so yeah , they could be $10 or $12 bucks each. Yikes!
CUM2america It’s a common flooring for factories in Northern Europe too. When areas get stained or ruined somehow, it’s easy to just pull up those blocks and replace them.
LOVE it. I was just in an old industrial building this morning and I fell in love with the wood grain top that it had as the flooring. Do these blocks have any sealant on them? What type of wood are they? Thanks a lot.
