Bamboo flooring knife handles

Was in Home Depot today and passed through the flooring dept. Had some good looking bamboo flooring which might looks like it could be used for knife handles.

Some see flooring....some see scales.
Some see pipe....some see forge parts.

I've wondered about that stuff to Gene....about half the hardwood floor aisle makes me think handles.

Cant see what the problem is. Im using some peices of a set of apehanger handlebars off my chopper for some handle peices. Made a couple of rings to. I dont think bamboo will be as slippery as chromed metal.

I'm using some Teak parkay floor tiles for scales with great results.
