My Home Depot sells solid bamboo flooring that is 5/8" thick edge grain. My friend has the laminate bamboo in his bar (commercial use) that has held up well over ten years, and that's not the solid stuff. His is a thin laminate on top of thin plywood. Any thoughts on using this for a shop floor? It is very hard, inexpensive ($1.99/Sft), and it looks like maple in color. The only thing I don't like is that it might tend to be slick for the workbench to rest on, but a rubber pad will fix that.
