glbarlow Posted March 10, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 10, 2022 I’d like to make the captains cabin floor using two different woods in the traditional diamond pattern. I’m sure there is a method for doing this that will produce an even consistent floor at about 3/64 thick. Anyone have a tutorial I could reference or suggestions how to go about it?

jim Landis Posted March 10, 2022 Share #2 Posted March 10, 2022 You might look for how chess/checker boards are made in the wood working magazines. However, I think that the diamond pattern may have been a painted canvas rug in many cases... davyboy, jud, Dave_E and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTHokiEE Posted March 10, 2022 Share #4 Posted March 10, 2022 Have you seen how @Beckmann did this on his Winchelsea? Take a look at posts #213 and #217, it might be useful. glbarlow, mtaylor and Gregory 2 1 Quote Current Build: HM Sloop Echo 1781 (First Scratch Build) Previous Builds: HM Cutter Alert, Sharpie Schooner, Chesapeake Bay Flattie, Half-Hull (NRG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted March 10, 2022 Share #5 Posted March 10, 2022 Very nice Chuck! Chapter 10 for those looking for this. While it is not the black and white canvas that was actually used, this is much nicer IMHO.
