I have seen a lot of charts showing the various strengths of different
species
of wood but never bamboo listed among them because I suppose bamboo is a
grass.
Why do you think bamboo laminate would be stronger?

Where would you get bamboo laminate? I can only think of purchasing
bamboo flooring strips and ripping on a table saw. Is that
what they are doing? Perhaps the flooring mfgs that are using
bamboo have some material properties to share.
