What can we do with extra hard wood flooring?

There is quite a pile of off-cuts from our gym flooring installation. I'm wondering how we can best put it to use, as they are gouged, damaged or otherwise un-usable for a visually appealing floor...

So, do I lay them out on our garage floor?  Do I plane down the old varnish and use it for fire wood?

Or???  Suggestions please!

  1. Do you plan on having a garden? You could use some for stakes or make some planters.

  2. What about a vertical application, such as creating a feature wall in your garage?

  3. Well, you know that I'll always take them off your hands... the vertical application came to my mind, too. I could see the entire little bathroom up there with the wood going up behind the sink and toilet and onto the ceiling.

  4. Wainscotting, interesting idea Jim. I wonder if there is enough though to do the entire room.

    lol, well Dawn you spoiled our surprise... but wrong location-- still, maybe Shafraaz will consider your proposal :P

    And Tyler, you are almost on the same page as Shafraaz. But let's not get too crazy, that flooring is thick stuff and the tiny water closet is a tight fit as is!

    I'll let Shafraaz speak for himself, but I think the leftover pile is the real scraps after the loft feature wall is created... on the outside of the bathroom. No other details for now ;-)

  5. Oh, and Tyler, Shafraaz has used a different material (oooh the suspense) as a back-splash in the loft bathroom. At the moment it is more of a wainscotting but may be continued up the wall behind the sink because it kind of looks funny as is.
