Got wood?

Yellow pine used to be a staple for floors.A friend of mine just finished his place.....the floors are made of grass.

I'll pass...I have enough trouble keeping the lawn mowed.

The grass I am referring to is prefinished BAMBOO.

Bamboo is a grass and is very hard and excellent for flooring!

That's interesting; I never knew bamboo was related to grass. I seem to recall a news story about Lumber Liquidators being sued for poor-quality bamboo flooring they were selling. I've never seen the stuff, so always wondered what it looks like.

Lumber liquidators was sued because they (the Chinese) exceeded the amount of formaldehyde the EPA permitted in the floor finishes….I believe I have that correct but don’t quote me.

I don’t fully get that because the Chinese are likely killing us everyday with products they manufacture and we buy ….but I digress, another story for another time.

Regardless, bamboo is a renewable resource that makes an excellent floor if it suites your taste. It’s density combined with the Aluminum Oxide finish is unmatched in durability
What’s most impressive is how many strands of that crap it takes to make up a 3” wide board. Leave it to the Chinese to figure out how to engineer that!

A side note. American bamboo is worthless.

Well, it does burn nicely,

Oh it does. each internode blowing up like an M80.

I don't really know anything about the Lumber Liquidators thing (see Greg's comments).

A buddy of mine who is a journeyman carpenter among other things, just finished his new home, and chose prefinished bamboo. I like the durability factor and will definitely give it consideration if I am ever in the market for flooring.

My buddy's wife spent $3000 on a bamboo bicycle. some fancy shmancy thing from California. she never rides it and he has not come down from the roof yet.
