Hi all,
Hoping someone could advise me on what kind of wood this is?

The floor was down when we moved in and I am about to sand the severely scratched varnish off and replace with hard wax oil, but thought I should know what kind of wood it is first before I start in case there is anything I need to consider. I thought it might be bamboo?

Many thanks

Thanks blup. How confident would you be that its Meranti?

Below are a couple of a pics from the web of bamboo flooring, which was what made me think it was Bamboo.

I believe that it was fitted in around the late eighties/early nineties, not sure what was common in wood flooring back then.
