Went by one of our surplus stores on Friday to see about the availability of some paneling to match a job I was bidding on. The guy showed me what I needed, then directed me to a shed out back. There, very neatly was several pallets of air stacked full 1" T&G wax ended ironwood. Of course I salivated at the smell and sight. I have about 300 sf of my cabin left to floor. Anyone had any experience at laying this stuff? Use a flooring stapler? Drill and individually insert nails? Cutting it (bet it will spark)? They want $2 per sf for it. Let me know what you know.
