That's an awsome job! I have done several floors in houses we have built and reno'd and can appreciate the patience and skill that would be required for such a job.

Very nice work Mambe, I've done a fair bit of hardwood over the years as well, nothing quite as intricate as that but a few that were quite involved. I can really appreciate your patience and craftsmanship. I also loved working with multiple wood species on floors, my favorite was a walnut/cherry/hickory floor I did with some friends in a restaurant. Unfortunately, the last time my hard drive crashed I lost years of pictures, including family ones, and the wife is still not happy....so I can't post up. Anyway, great workmanship amigo!
