I’m a nut for WALNUT!


Walnut for the end log wood floors in the treehouse has arrived! Pa drove down to the lake to meet the delivery truck and unload the wood. It must have taken a long time because there are hundreds of pieces. The real challenge was finding room in the garage to store it so it remains nice and dry. Not to long ago the two car garage house a few jet skis, kayaks, lake toys and some tools. It is now so full of wood and tree house building materials we can hardly get to anything else. Thank goodness my parents are as excited for this project as Cole is or else they may start to get a little annoyed! I am using the jet skis in the back of the garage as my motivators for Cole to keep up the hard work- if we don’t get the wood out we won’t be able to use the water toys... and you know what they say: WORK HARD, PLAY HARDER!
Can’t wait to see this come together! The plan is 1” thick slabs ranging in diameter from 1” to 8”, filled in with smaller branches of walnut, and then black epoxy to fill in all gaps. They will sand it level and top it off with a few coats of poly. Should be one sweet custom floor that you will not have seen anywhere else!
