Your questions are irrelevant. Of course its factory stained its real hardwood flooring full 11/16" thick, which can be sliced down. :D You must know that quarter sawn is the way to go, especially on board bows, but I was asking if flat grain can be used in a laminate..?

Cheers, I'll have to give it a go.

Bow101, the homedepot near me house stocks UNFINISHED flooring of maple.
Multiple thicknesses. some have slightly flat grain (1-2 runouts per foot) or very flat grain(1 or 2 runouts per 4 foot)...
and then there is edge ring.
The flooring in me house was not finished until after install, and it was 3/4 thick oak with tongue and groove.
