A fellow is selling bowling alley floor for $20 a linear foot. The floor runs 42" wide. Maple.

I know I read someone's post that he had used old bowling alley floor for a bench top. Anybody with experience/opinions on that? Seems like it would save a lot of work gluing up and flattening.

How thick would it probably be?

Would it be only glued, or would there be metal in it?

How hard would it be to get off the floor? (Would I be able to get off the floor after I got it off?)

Thanks,

Nelson
