Nice optical illusion to mess with you after a half-dozen cold ones.

Square herringbone pattern with a fringe around the outside edge against the wall. Used some thin cherry to make transitions to the kitchen and other hallway.

Yes, and the optical illusion is quite good.

There are a couple there on the right that are slightly to dark. Bad feng shui! They'll have to be changed out! :mrgreen:

It was a fun but painful process. Every board was cut to length and pre-drilled to eliminate splitting, so up & down several times for every pair of boards. And, my radial saw is in the basement so up & down the steps for every pair of boards.

The use of different shades of the wood really is what makes the illusion remarkable.
Just finding the wood to do that would be an accomplishment. BRAVO.
Oh, how long did it take for everything, from selecting wood to finish?
Days, weeks , months?
