They must have really made sure those rounds were the same thickness in order to get the floor smooth. They never really mentioned sanding.
The chop saw made the cuts consistent, then they sanded them. Maybe they resanded once they were all glued in place? I would think that just the glue alone could make for some uneveness.

Did one back in 1984 used hand squared ash timber from a hundred
year old barn . No chop saw then used a radial arm saw with a stop to
get all the same size . Glued to sub floor sanded and then 4 coats of
oil based urethane, floor looks good to this day not mine the guy I worked for

the article above is a variant of the same story I read on another webpage. In the link below, the owners commented on how he made his own grout from a mix of sawdust and poly..
Thats a lot of poly, and getting a uniform correct consistency for the grout would be tricky. Very neat none the less. If the room was large enough that's a few $$ on poly....

Yeah..i wasn't sure what to think when I saw all of that poly used as grout. Better hope moisture doesn't ever get under the slab.

Way back when, my buddy's Dad was an artist/art teacher and he did similar to a wall. I thought it was the coolest thing, and it totally fit in a house filled with original paintings, sculptures, fabric art and neat-o color combos everywhere. As long as the floor fits the rest of the house, it can be cool.
