That's a good idea using flooring. Did you glue it to a piece of plywood for strength? Were you able to buy remnants of an open box, or did they make you buy a whole box? Saves time not having to finish the wood too.
i went to a local whole sale flooring shop. the guy working there was pretty cool. i told him in just needed a bit. he showed me an area of the store that had single boxes and limited qty. he told me that i could have a full box of anyone of em for a 6pk of corona. so i went to gas station and got me a 6pk and we made a deal on a box. he actually gave me the 2 boxes that he had in that color. i didnt glue it. its backed with 3/4' plywood and bolted in with 1/4' hardware. it aint going nowhere. that and if decide i wanna change it i just gotta unbolt it and swap it out.
