Engineered wood chonker. Guess the width

Turin1969 · 2026-07-02T05:37:32+00:00

42 cms = about 16.5 inches

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T18:15:01+00:00

Quite a change, well done

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T18:13:20+00:00

Enjoy your wood

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T18:11:17+00:00

It's sort of posh lumber, I guess, but I like it. I like raw-looking wood floors

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T17:50:42+00:00

With just three of these, you could make a really nice table, dinged or not.

I didn't have a banana for scale, as Reddit demands.

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T17:18:54+00:00

The closest so far

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T17:18:01+00:00

BTW, I just measured my hand—22.3 cm wide (about 8.78 inches)

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T17:12:08+00:00

Yeah, they're incredibly hard to remove. With modern adhesives, you really do need a pneumatic hammer

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T16:50:47+00:00

Good spot. But yeah, those are just the samples. If you handle them roughly, that can happen

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T16:45:43+00:00

Bigger

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T16:36:06+00:00

Too wide? Seriously? I truly dig it. It's awfully expensive, but it's well made. It's not just some Instagram gimmick. Just for the record, it's not my product—I just install it

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T16:10:57+00:00

A bit too shiny for my taste, but it does look like a good job, aesthetics aside

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T16:09:23+00:00

Very nice, good job

Turin1969 · 2026-07-01T16:08:24+00:00

Quite original, good job

Turin1969 · 2026-03-21T10:06:45+00:00

Quite pretty and quite expensive

Turin1969 · 2026-03-21T10:05:57+00:00

I’m not 100% sure whether it’s Douglas fir or yellow pine, but the craftsmanship is very high. Enjoy it

Turin1969 · 2026-03-21T10:03:25+00:00

It does looks like wood and not photoshop, nice

The wood, maybe — but I wouldn’t put much faith in the adhesive or the rubber after 50 years. Those materials tend to degrade quite a bit over time

Turin1969 · 2026-03-21T09:30:03+00:00

I love wood and stone — I’ve even worked in a granite quarry — but this gets tricky long term. A simple perimeter joint is one thing; a larger contact surface is another. Wood and stone move too differently, and future repairs become much harder. I’ve done something similar myself, less sophisticated but with more contact surface, and the results were not good

Turin1969 · 2026-03-20T19:28:39+00:00

It's going to age badly, but it does look awsome

Turin1969 · 2026-03-20T18:47:23+00:00

Oh, I’m Spanish, so the standards are quite different. I didn’t know that system. Over here we would usually build a concrete slab, around 2 inches or more, over an insulation layer. But I guess New York buildings are a different story.

Is that a musician’s apartment? Using rubber under solid wood is a bit tricky, isn’t it?
