As an alternative approach, he suggested (I think the phrase was...) a
false tongue using a hard-wood fillet (using a circular/table saw to
cut a groove along each edge of the boards, and inserting (and presumably
glueing) a hard-wood insert to form the tongue.... ASCII art alert:-


I've no experience of biscuit joints - but the 'false tongue' approach would
work ok.

Don't use a table saw to cut the grooves though - use a router. It's pretty
dangerous using a table saw because you'd have to remove the guard - and not
very accurate because it's difficult to handle wooden planks edgeways on.
