What are these floors made from?
MicrosoftTeams-image (6).jpgMicrosoftTeams-image (7).jpg
Hi there,
I'm a botanist by trade and find myself in the unusual position of asking others what type of tree this is!
My wife and I recently purchased a 1960's house in Lake Mac NSW and have been delighted to find floorboards beneath the tiles and carpets.
I've attached two photos of the floorboards that I can easily access. Let me know if there are any other photos that would help. I'm guessing Cypress pine but wouldn't have a clue.
Thanks in advance for any ideas on what we are looking at here.

Yep that's definately Cypress. I've put heaps of it down over the years.

If it was a softer species like radiata I may have left tiles over the kitchen and entry. I'm glad to hear that they are likely Cypress Pine, off with the tiles and carpet!
