Vertical toast Solid Bamboo Flooring 5/8" x 5" wide x 38-5/8"

Model#205124740 is what I got before at Home Depot.
Last year or so HD quit caring it. but I googled the mod# and could not find it anywhere .
Today I found it at the link below, shipping was $5.00 for 1 box, sounds fishy, option to pay when delivered. So I ordered it.
Kind of sounded like a scam but no payment until delivered for $47.66 + shipping $5.00

I will get a email from them tomorrow and see what's up.

Maybe just me, but I thought I could not get it anymore without shipping being out of site.
I still have about 5 boards

Big Jim has the bamboo planks at a good price. Quality stuff to.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY, IT SEEMS TO BE A SCAM.
My order is COD so I will see what happens

COD will help, just did a search on them, they have some bad reviews.

Check out the material first before accepting it.

Is this stuff the same as the material called "Action Boo"?

Mad Max · May 30, 2021, 11:09:09 AM

Yes

Flem · May 30, 2021, 12:41:28 PM

Is there a preference for this material over home milled Bamboo, or is it more convenient?

Have you ever looked at bamboo plywood? It comes in different thicknesses and grain orientation.

Cut the lams out of the vertical

Mad Max · May 30, 2021, 01:05:48 PM

The reason people were using Vertical Bamboo floor was you could order it online from Lowes or Home Depot and pick it up at your local store no shipping. 1 box was 24.12 sq. ft. and weight was about 60lb.
Boo floor for homes is not that popular anymore so you have to pay the shipping to get it now, and lowes/HD will not order it any more.
Yes you can get some lams from several Sponsors on here.
I think I paid 70.00 for 1 box and made a bunch of bow with it. low cost

I think Chad Holm told me he bought 4x8 sheets of vertical plywood but I haven't found a source .

Ambient bamboo floors. They're in Maryland.
Westwindhardwood.com. In BC, Canada.
There are others too. I would imagine that buying it in sheet form might be cost effective. You might be able to get it cut into boards for cheaper shipping.

Mark, try Northwest Bamboo...or something like that. I think they are in Portland, OR. I bought boo flooring from him years ago. He had horizontal, vertical and caramelized of either.

Crooked Stic · May 30, 2021, 08:33:48 PM

Big Jim has it. I paid 168 for 6 planks 11.5x36x maybe .750. If you have it shipped it get $$$$ly. I picked mine up at Tradfest no shipping and may get some more at Cloverdale and save shipping.

Flem · May 31, 2021, 08:46:49 AM

OK I get that it was attractive when it was readily available and relatively cheap, but since that does not seem to be the current status, what's the attraction?

Pat B · May 31, 2021, 08:48:33 AM

Strong and light weight.

Mad Max · May 31, 2021, 09:21:23 AM

For me it's the best core wood

kennym · May 31, 2021, 10:53:25 AM

It is more repeatable on bow weights since it is a laminated product. I think it performs a bit better than actionwood also... JMO

Damn you guy's

Guess I'm going to have to try some. Now where to find it cheap...........
