Just something that popped into my head after I read this thread. I've never worked with bowling alley, but I've heard that the planks are held together by a whole bunch of nails. A couple of questions...Is glue also used to hold the planks together? If "yes", how will the joints hold up to a kitchen enviroment? If "no", how will the joints hold up to a kitchen environment? The oil will help protect the surface, but what about the joints?
