Some people will just cut down trees and burn them, or rather use the used tomake fires. Just that. But a creative mind would do much more than just burning wood.
So here’s this smart guy from Montana, and he really doesn’t like the fact that most of the people in his home area use the lovely hardwood trees like the Russian Olive, Ash and Siberian Elm just for firewood. This nice guy, Vyger, a cool Instructables user, has loved the Russian Olive with a particularly deep love that triggered his creativity. What he’s doing with this hardwood now will drop your jaws.
Having a rather attractive chocolate color and being very beautiful in the inside makes the Russian Olive a very nice choice for this man’s creative projects. To say the truth, I’ve never come across anything as creative with wood as this. I give him that!
Watching him do histrick, you get the feeling that people have been misled to believe that they can’t do anything else with these beautiful trees except burning them.
Check out this cool clip and see him do his cool thing. If you’re impressed, let’s know in the comments section and SHARE it with your friends on Facebook.
This is the Russian Olive tree. For this project he used a combination of this with Siberian Elm and Ash.
“For this job you have to start with a chainsaw,’ he said.
“Cutting in the snow has its benefits. You can use the snow to brace the logs to keep them where you want them,” he said. “And if you cut all the way through the log and into the snow it doesn’t dull your chain.”
All of the cut logs needed to be over 4 or 5 inches in diameter for this project to work.
Next he had to cut some slabs. To do this he fist measured each log.
Marked his spots.

Trimmed the wood.
Then chopped!
Once he had cut all three types of wood, he had to make finer cuts.
Next he had to plane the slabs so they could run flat on a table saw and not bind up the blade.
He then used the table saw to refine the wood and make it look less like logs and more like lumber.
Once he got the size he wanted, he began to cut specific shapes.
Then he began to piece those pieces together on the floor.
Using the different colored wood, he started making patterns.
The dark wood from the Russian Olive helps to make a distinctive 3D illusion.
The illusion becomes more and more pronounced the larger it gets.
The pattern is beautiful and mesmerizing.
And to think this was created by wood meant to be burnt.
The end result, a unique hardwood floor, is absolutely gorgeous.
Please SHARE if you think this is a gorgeous hardwood floor!
