✅ How To Make Wood Cookie Flooring - Rustic - Natural - Tree Slice End Grain Floor - Oak Hardwood 

Thanks!

Thanks Ron, glad you like it!

Ha. Best way to find time is to "make" it.

Thanks Kathy!

Cool!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks. I would use a container with a spout for easier pouring if I did it again. Pouring from the 5 gal bucket was the hardest part. Made it messer than it needed to be. For wood, just tried to get it as dry as possible.

Yes that would be a smart thing to do!

Hey, yes it does dry to a very light brown color (like the picture at the 19 min 15 sec mark). If you get it wet it is the darker brown (like the picture at the 19 min 10 sec mark). You can get the darker brown color permanently by applying a concrete sealer to it. I don't mind the lighter color but I have considered sealing it (you're supposed to wait a month anyways before sealing new concrete). As far as sanding goes, its probably a wash of doing it before or after the concrete. The concern I have with sanding afterwards is untreated wood will absorb the concrete and will stain a few mm deep. If you're planning to do an interior floor and will use one of those large rotating floor sanders to take off a bunch of material then sanding after concrete probably works well.

The wood would not hold up indefinitely if exposed to the weather no matter what you seal it with. Its also hard to seal the end grain which all of these are. An epoxy or something could seal it but would then be slippery for a pool deck.

Yes you need to let it dry since it will shrink.

@@NaterTater Thank you

No issues yet with shrinking or cracking. But every concrete contractor will give you two guarantees...your concrete will crack and nobody will steal it. I used "LevelQuik RS 50 lbs. Self-Leveling Underlayment" but any self leveling mix should work.

Holding up great! Gone thru winters (gets below 0F a few times) without a problem.

@@NaterTater That's absolutely fantastic! Have you had an problems with the wood pulling away from the concrete as it dried slightly more?

Interesting! Good idea.

Yes you could pour epoxy over all of it.

Yes and a crapload more $ too!

about a month if I recall, I think I mention it in the video but I forget!

Do they have to be dryed if I'm polling it an cement

Yes I agree smaller pails would be better.

yes it did! all the tree wood was free. 😀

@@NaterTater thanks ! With prices in anything for home improvement going up almost 50% im looking for any alternatives. Do you have any more ideas?

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts Lenny

Well then if you attempt it you will do it a little different won't you? Nice of you you weigh in though.
