I have this friend who did a floor like that. He is so cheap that.......
Actually, he is cheap but the floor looked great. He made it from free
scraps he collected going around to all of the cabinet shops. He is not
really a woodworker but ne did a fantastic job. I would just worry that
dropping a pot on it of something heavy would damage the veneer that some
people find it easy to sand through.

Many months ago I saw in a woodworking magazine an ingenious idea to
cut up 4 by 8 sheets plywood veneers of bircth, for example, and lay
them down much like to laminated hardwood floors. I was wondering if
anyone has done this?? Do I need to worry about shrinkage? OR can I
just cut and butt them up against one another? The veneers are very
thin so I guess 5 coats of varathane would be of benefit.
