A dumb question about T&G Redwook floorboards...

I notice the tongue isn't centrally placed on the board edge, but is slightly closer to one side.  Does it matter which side is uppermost - the side nearest the tongue, or the one further away?  Or is it a matter of just picking one and going for it?

tongue/groove position depends on the machine used to do it and whether the person setting the machine bothers to adjust it. often different thickness boards are run through at the same setting.

as to which side - check whether one has a chamfer? then decide if you prefer the close butted look or v groove

The growth rings of timber tend to straighten with drying. And it tends to be preferable that floorboards dome up in the centre rather than cup with raised edges. Have a look at the end of the planks to see how that might work out.
