I am looking for examples of framing out a slab hearth using your hardwood flooring. My flooring is 7.5” wide so I am trying to find an example with wide plank flooring. ***My flooring will be running vertically into the hearth. ****

I am exploring the option to use the entire width of the plank for the frame and not strip it down

I have a lot of spacing/math to figure out before I install flooring in order to match things up as perfectly as possible. Any tips for what I am trying to accomplish are welcomed! Here are a few examples I have found but not great ones.
