There are patterns that resemble butcher-block and would probably look
nice.

I figure if the "engineered" (fake wood) stuff is built to stand up to the
abuse of being on a floor, it could probably take ordinary kitchen
conditions.

Anyway, I've got some left over from a flooring project and thought I
would give it a go -- unless, of course, somebody can come up with a
discouraging word other than "That's the most f***ed up idea I EVER
heard!"

HeyBub,

If move forward with this idea make sure you use enough glue along the seams
so that is squeezes out evenly and then wipe off the excess before it dries.
This will keep moisture out of the seams and help stop moisture problems.
We did this on a kitchen floor we installed and it held up well during two
plumbing catastrophes.
