Bamboo is supposed to be several times harder than Maple which is why
more cutting boards are being made with it. With this in mind, I cannot
see how it would wear fast on floors because of it's toughness. The
main ingredient to keeping water separate from the wood is "finish".
The type of sealant and protective finish will work the same on either
floor .

huh? every cutting board i've seen uses maple, also because it has little to
no pores. bamboo is a grass, and is porous, so would be a poor choice for a
cutting board.

Bamboo isn't as porous as wood. From a random selection searched
with the string; [bamboo + "cutting board"]:
