I got some Bamboo flooring fro the local Habitat for Humanity, "ReStore" and used that ( it was solid and not laminated)
Right, Hard On Blades but worked beautifully. Sanded off the factory finish and then did in the BLO mix and it was very nice.

won't work. At least not well and your blades will suffer. That stuff is nothing like ply or so.

Bamboo is hard, it's one of the hardest woods one can get:
