Greetings from an American living in Denmark! I've worked with the massive (38mm) hardwood parquet tabletops available in builder's stores, for furniture, shelving, and, well, tables. Sometimes they're cheap, too. Is there any reason (s) why they couldn't be used as flooring? I know the full thickness of the wood would need some reduction in the form of grooves, but isn't a table/counter top just a large plank?
I've asked our local flooring guys, but they've never heard of anyone doing it. About the only flooring we have that is even close to that thick (oh, what a sound they make!) is the slow-growth douglas fir that is used to replace worn out flooring in some of the old castles here.
Thanks for your answers.
