Another View of Interior Work in Process

I have to say I LOVE everything about the floors in this house.....this is a beautiful art piece....

Thank you, Emerald!  I've enjoyed making the floors, despite the long hours its taken.  I think I could have done this in 1:1 scale in about as much time! ;)

Your Beacon Hill is incredible! What materials did you use to get your floors so incredible?

The view from this picture is wonderful. Your color scheme is great!

Thank you both for the kind words!

Bugatari, I use strip wood from miniatures.com  I prefer the 1/16 thickness as it is easy to cut.  They only sell these two widths: http://www.miniatures.com/Strip-Wood-12-Inch-Width-P17850.aspx and http://www.miniatures.com/Strip-Wood-14-Inch-Width-P17847.aspx but you can always double up or cut the pieces to smaller widths as needed.

I stain a bunch of lengths at a time; two light coats followed by a light sanding and then one final coat waiting one day per coat to dry.  After installation, I touch up any bare edges with a tiny paintbrush and steady hand. ;)  I am also not afraid to rip up a section as I go if I find that things didn't align properly.  I use a tiny flat head screw-driver or a straight razor (carefully) to remove pieces that are glued and dried.

Have fun with your build!
