I came across this picture while looking for something else and I noticed the interesting looking floor. Looks like slices of 2x4 or something.

Wood Tile Floor

I came across a floor similar to this one once, it was made out mesquite! It was sure pretty but I'm betting there was a pile of burned up saw blades sitting around there somewhere, mesquite is tough!

Log End Floor

I saw a floor on the internet (can't remember where) and it was the same idea but used logs sawed off about 2 inches thick with clear resin as fill, beautiful.

floor

I wouldn't mind having a floor that looked like these tables. Or a wall or counter top.... :-)
I think I like the round ones best.

There are pictures of the

There are pictures of the round and 2x-ish wood tile floors in our book of flooring we bought at home depot. Don't remember which one it is and I'm not going to go dig through our boxes to find it. Sorry! ;) I loved the look too, but then again, I loved the look of my mom's stained plywood when they took up her carpeting and pad. I'd have left it as-is!
