The foyer at the Maclachlan Woodworking Museum in Kingston ON
has just such a floor.  Looks like they sawed up a bunch of logs
laid them on the floor, and poured GALLONS of epoxy over it all
to fill the voids and make the pieces stick to the floor.  It
isn't very flat, but it sure looks cool.

Oh, and if you do visit the museum, try to wrangle a tour of
The Vault.  Most of the collection is stashed away out of the
public's sight, which is quite normal for a museum.  Just to
whet yer appetite, here's a shot of my son wandering through
The Vault back in July of '97.
