Experimental cedar flooring in the Office, Turnstone Cove III, Yachats, Oregon, USA, 1999.
I could not bear to trash the 2x6 t&g cedar roof decking that I removed from the old Greatroom ceiling, so I experimented with it as a floor.
It was an experiment that didn't work. Even with low traffic, usually stocking feet, the wood was too soft.
