You should have read the first post before he edited it. He was going to face screw the flooring.

Yes very sharp blade or two.
There are a lot of sizes of stran bamboo some companies are trying to save on the material and are doing very thinn boards. you need a special floor nail gun for this.
By the way strand bamboo is so hard because it has more glue then the actual bamboo in it or is it realy so well compresed?

Welcome Hawaii,

Just wanted to let you know in the upper left hand corner of any post will have a date of when it was posted.
These were posted a Month ago.
I don't mind someone adding info to old posts as people search often and it's great to add additional info for those folks down the road. However I doubt your question will get answered because this user has only made 2 posts so far.
Just wanted to fill you in.
