     Hm... we have plenty of beech around here, which is largely  
unsplittable, but easily cut into rounds.  Anyone know how beech  
holds up in an end-grain floor?

     I'd rather not varnish the floor in the work room, so the best  
I'd be able to do would be penetrating oil.  End grain would probably  
soak the stuff up.  Hm...
