PRECISION PATTERNS: PARQUET FLOORING

This three-day in-person course is designed for experienced wood flooring professionals looking to master traditional square parquetry. Led by NWFA Regional Instructor Lenny Hall of Endurance Floor Co., participants explored the geometry and creative process that defines high-end parquet flooring. They also learned to identify and construct three classic patterns: Palace, Bordeaux, and Fontainebleau. “I always pick up something from each class. I’ve made a few parquet patterns before, but nothing that can match the precision level of what we’ve done in this class,” says Dan Reddy of Reddy’s Hardwood Flooring in Addison, Illinois. “Learning more about the math involved and how to dial things in has been a great experience, and also it is always a pleasure
