Hey guys, ive been hearing lots about bamboo flooring used as actionboo for lams, but is there anywhere you can buy flooring by the piece, i dont need it in bulk, and thats the only way most places sell it.

I got lucky and got mine from a friend that lays hardwood. He was tearing out some that had got damaged and he gave me the old boards.

crap hit send before I ment to. Have you tried Home depot of Lowes or something like that to see if they might have some boxes in stock? I doubt that you'll be able to get it by the board though. Might have to buy a box at a time.

Check with a flooring install outfit for their leftovers/cutoffs. Maybe you get lucky?

Will, some flooring stores and big box stores will sell 3 foot pieces as samples so customers can see how they look in the house. That's how I get mine. Or you can make friends with a flooring guy. [bigsmyl]

I found it by the board at my local Rockler for a fair price.
