This is a very interesting hsitorical article from a British newspaper. It made me think about Cameron and all the discussion regarding injuries and is there something amiss? Of course sub-surfaces are a different matter.
"From about the mid-1800s onward, maple flooring was popular because the wood was plentiful, so it was also inexpensive, but it was also durable and more stable. Maple flooring is harder than red oak, black walnut or cherry flooring, and its tight grain made it easier to clean and maintain."
