Was at the local borg picking up the last of their 3 1/4" wide (red & white)

pricing this?


Careful with borg flooring. The local one had a sale on some
prefinished birch.

It had zero warranty on the finish, and I could make permanent
impressions in the wood just by running my fingernail across it.

No thanks...

On the Janko scale, Birich is 1260 compared to Red Oak at 1290, White
Oak 1360 and Bamboo at 1800. Sounds like pretty poor stuff.
