I have aquired an amount of reclaimed parquet flooring which I would like to re-use. It is the 5 fingered block type and the recovery process has split the blocks down to individual fingers (about 1/2" by 5")
Assuming I observe the normal preparations, (even floor, damp proof, correct adhesive) is it practical to consider relaying the individual fingers into the original horizontal/vertical alternate block pattern or would the whole thing be too fiddly to hope of getting a reasonable finish after sanding etc?
I have the patience and the desire to attempt complicated DIY projects such as this but if someone who knows better or has attempted it previously and failed tells me to forget it I am willing to listen to prevent getting ambition and ability mixed up.
Thanks for listening.
