Today we have something called "kiln drying" ...,.as well as "Miconizol". I've put wide short pieces of klin dried wood
in buckets of water and left them for weeks. The bit of expansion was so small it was impossible to measure with a tape
rule.

"A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg".

Parquet floors are not lap jointed but tongue and groove, they are short pieces with no real expansion forces to contend with. Herculaneum floors only show wear where the slaves were chained to a wall or post!
You can do a lot with very little! You can do a little more with a lot!
He is planning to use regular hardwood. Never seen a piece of wood that did not expand in water, however quickly it was dried.
