Don't usually see it in anything but full sized sheets 4' x 8' but
"maybe" you could buy solid bamboo flooring which is made from the
same stuff and use that.

In April, Lumber Liquidators (at least South Jersey) has a parking lot
sale where they sell off their left-overs. They carge five dollars
for single boxes of flooring that have about 28 sq. ft. of flooring.
Last year, there was some bamboo there.

I bought one box of Honduran Rosewood and one of Oak. The problem is
figuring out what to do with it. After shaving off the tongue and
grooves (assuming you don't want them), and possibly resawing (the
downside of the flooring is grooved and the surface has a hard finish)
you've got a lot of thin slats that took a lot of work to get that
way. Then again, 28 bd. ft. of anything for $5 is about the price of
firewood.

I made one of these with the Rosewood: http://www.woodshopics.com/html/amer...oodworker.html

Seems like overkill or a waste, but better that it be used to make
something than to fill a dumpster.
