Looks Like Leather

An unexpected feature in Barry's apartment is the wood-tile floor that runs throughout the living room and bedroom. It's constructed of oriented strand board available at home improvement stores for about $10 a sheet. He cut the OSB into 40-inch-square tiles, rabbeting each side so the 3/16-x-2-inch flat-bar steel would fit flush. He finished the floor -- both wood and metal -- with three coats of polyurethane.
