There are no gaps between the boards, but the image had a normal map with
a checker pattern but I didn't include that in the code. And I know that
the planks are too wide and not long enough for a bowling alley, but they
are working for my purposes. I didn't really recusomize my code, for which
I apologize... but the theory should work. I also tried to get a chamfered
shape to them with a normal statement, but I couldn't seem to get it to
work. I've had difficulty with brick,box, and crackle pattern in my normal
statements lately, so using Checker is a cheap workaround
