Will rewood hold up as flooring inside home?

JAke J asked:

I'm trying to recycle old growth clear grain redwood tongue and groove ****** setters. I have a huge amount that I would use in a home remodeling. The tongue and groove is about 8 inches wide and an inch thick. Some of that is stained, but much of it is beautiful, no knots. How can I use decorations? Can I use it on the inside story? It is quite smooth.

    soft to the touch/pressure or more like soft wood, like pine? If it’s soft to pressure I’d be concerned of rot. If it doesn’t have rot, it will make a nice floor. Some people even use pine as flooring. Just sand it good and seal it good.

    Zacht en gemakkelijk krassen. Ik zou het als inkorten of een stoel spoor. Misschien paneel een muur of zoiets.

    Floors wouldn’t be a great idea unless you like a really rustic look. Redwood will dent quite easily. You could use it as paneling or you can use it in furniture projects.
