Gary,
I have used the bamboo flooring and plyboo (like plywood, but solid,
cross laminated bamboo) on a number of projects, but not floors. The
info that I got with it said that using some ball test (they drop a
steel ball on it, and measure the dent) the hardness is between cherry
and oak. From working with it, I will agree. It sands nicely, cuts
nicely, but when cross cutting you need to score a line, or put tape
over the cut. It has long fiber and tends to have long tearouts if you
don't. It takes finish nicely and glues nicely. I like the colors, and
the fact that it is sustainable (they can reharvest every 4 years). For
any good wood floor, if you want it to last and look good, you have a
no shoes house. No dogs as well becuse the claws can do a lot of damage
to any floor. As near as I can tell, it is very stable.

How is it for consistency in terms of thickness?
