If you want a very tough floor, then end grain up wood is among the
toughest. I've seen that in a railroad barn once. I don't know how
the
wood has survived so long. It might be interesting to ask the road
crew or
the transportation department what sort of wood was used.

They did that on some show - I think it was one of Bob Vila's Home
Again. One of the first seasons I think. They laid them as tiles in a
running bond and grouted them with something like sawdust and varnish.
It looked pretty slick - like wooden cobblestones.


Good memory,
