A friend gave me a few bundles of unfinished hardwood flooring that he was going to burn. Not wanting to see some machined red oak suffer such a fate, I took them off his hands. There's not enough to do even an entryway or other small floor, so I was hoping to get some good ideas from the 'Creek. Face frame pieces for utility cabinets, glue 'em up for shelves, or what??

...top to a MDF/plywood work bench or workstation.
....back to a shelf
...drill bit box or other small tool boxes.
What if the light at the end of the tunnel is a train?

I coverd a bench with used flooring. Never again.Dirty, hard on the tools and a beast to get the nails out.
But a real durable surface. The new stuff. skys the limit

How about the back to a dresser or a large piece of furniture?

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Glue up to make cutting boards?
Picture Frames?

I've found that flooring can make a nice straight sacrificial fence, good for jigs, etc.

If it is at least 3/4" thick, Turn on your TS; make 3/4" squares, and make
PENS!!!
You will find out how good you are with a gouge and skew!

Drawer sides and fronts
Miter gauge fence
ZCI for the TS
Vise jaws
Stain and finish samples
The significant problems we encounter cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.
The penalty for inaccuracy is more work

Small boxes!

I just used about 5 pieces (30" long) last night to support the middle portion of a coffee table that will have a heavy tile top. This is a project that will belong to a friend of mine. The oak is plenty strong enough to handle this use. I have also used it to make fences for table saw sleds, miter sleds, etc.
