You'll know it has an aluminum oxide finish when it throws
sparks on the chop saw. VERY hard stuff, dulls even carbide.
Expect to burn up one carbide blade per floor installation.

When you did the flooring, how long were the cutoffs? Usually they're
not very long. You'd have a lot of transverse seams with the lengths
I've seen (24" or less).

That must look awesome. I'm betting no, but did you use the kind with
the micro-bevel on it---I've seen some that had that that weren't the
usually engineered kind. That might make a very interesting top for
something that large.

Maybe it took me a couple of weeks to see it. Or maybe that age thing is

Hey thanks! One small gotcha. In my case, the tongue & grooves
aren't aligned precisely between the two types of wood, so the
surfaces aren't perfectly aligned. No biggie for this kind of thing
though.

For me, neighborcide is rarely a deal breaker, and that's even though
I like them all.
A thought formed in me 'ead about the cracks thing. If you're talking
about the microbeveling between them, did you consider just filling it
all in with poly and calling it a day?

I had a dear friend (who passed away last week) who had a flooring and
cabinet business. He would call me now and again to come pick up some
cutoffs and extras. He gave me lots of Ipe, cocobolo, qs oak, and other
wonderful stuff. Plus a bunch of oak flooring which I used to do the
flooring in our mountain home. Table tops my ass. Oops that should
read "my a$$". Sorry.

Actually the oak flooring was overbuy stock so they were in 4' lengths.
And the price was right.
The cutoffs varied between 1' and 4' of various widths. Great for
cutting boards, boxes, etc. He was a good man and the world needs more
Merrill Bolsters, not less. Sigh.

I have scraps. One of the ones I used (the middle piece) is Brazilian
Cherry. The other looks like pine, but honestly I don't know. But my
question is *What* on earth could it possibly matter if two of the
pieces aren't hardwood???
Perhaps I should have made the subject "Use your scrap HW and pine
flooring for table tops." OR perhaps I should have said in the
original post some extra words to the effect of "...and
saw that I had a inherited a few scraps of HW flooring and something
that looks like pine that work perfectly!"
Is this all necessary?

The alumina is part of a normal polymer finish; a bit of work
with a heat gun or torch and scraper will remove it.

You like to take risks right? <bg> (the point makes a lot of sense,
laminate won't absorb much, but the cracks could.)
What I'd consider doing was to just seal the cracks instead. I think
that might be a better solution than bleach... (Oh, crap, a bad pun!)

Be careful if you use the prefinished flooring as some of it
contains aluminum oxide particles for wear resistance. Great
for floors but hell on tools. Carbide tooling is a must when
working with it as my ruined set of HSS planer knives will
attest to.

I've got some left over laminate I'll have to try some bleach on.

But that is the usual outcome with t&G flooring and the first finishing
step of coarse sanding deals with imperfections like that.

There's a similar skit in Space Circus by Aragones and Evanier, Dark Horse

A great way to use scrap wood that you have. Another good reason to hang
on to pieces of scrap.
Looks great.

I didn't. It came that way from the manufacturer. It was laminate flooring.
I figured if it was designed to handle tracked-in dirt, golf shoes, sliding
furniture, dog claws, and the like, it could handle an occassional
knife-slip! Anyway, it's been installed about a year now and still looks
perfect.
The only thing that might bother some person (not me)* is some double-nasty
fungus or bacteria hiding in a crack which, during subsequent food
preparation, may end up poisoning the entire neighborhood and suburbs
beyond.
Wiping the surface with bleach should take care of that contingency.

apologized profusely telling her that I had just cleaned some paint brushes!
But to no avail... and the couch isn't all that comfy...
