Dark, wide boards in smoked walnut or mahogany, with staggered joints and the odd knot - a plainer floor for a bookshop back room or a cosy study.
The design repeats every 180 mm plank at real size (15 mm at 1:12), so it has the same visual density as the real thing. Each sheet prints four panels cut from one continuous pattern; A1, A2, B1 and B2 butt together without a visible seam, and you can print more sheets to cover a bigger floor.
Two colourways are included: Smoked Walnut and Mahogany. A single seamless tile is also included as SVG and PNG for digital projects and cutting machines.
