Because of its very striking grain pattern, Acacia is commonly used for household items such as salad bowls and dinner ware sets. It does actually make a particularly durable wood floor, but because of its wild grain, most floor manufacturers tend to either stain it or fume it. Not a species that is currently particularly sought after in the UK.
