but they're "re-engineering" all their >3/4" thickness plywood according to the rep and don't have anything thicker avail. i want at least 1" or 1-1/2" thick with the end-grain exposed to the primary surfaces. can't find another manufacturer that does it.
found a lot of parquet by that looks crappy. anyone know of an alternative? the furniture is going to be custom CNC milled to create depressions and texture in the surface so we don't want to double up and layer two 3/4" sheets (to avoid that line between the layers)
A slightly different look, but still cool: a friend sent me a link to Kirei Board a while back, and I've been dying to use it somewhere. They say it comes in 30mm (1.18") thickness.
oh and talked to a distributor. the end-grain orientation must be heavily reinforced in furniture applications as the grain does nothing to give you structural strength. the glue lam was tending to vertically shear. that's why they're re-engineering the thicker sheets.
end-grain bamboo plywood...
found plyboo by smith&fong

thanks!
please ignore that awful sink in the above pic. pics are from a distributor website...

why not pressure laminate it? Seems like an easy enough option - 2no. sheets lam glue and a pressure glide, clamp and let dry
acfa, how much is that plyboo stuff per s.f.?
we got quoted $180-220 depending on finish per 3/4" 36x72 sheets and exact volume of order (we said it'd be small, under 10 sheets).

how can bamboo be plywood when bamboo is grass?
thats why they call it "plyboo"
rationalist, do you know what the psf of that kirei board is?
xacto:
Item # Thickness Dimensions Sheet Weight
KB 3610 10mm 36"x72" 19.4 lbs.
KB 3620 20mm 36"x72" 35.1 lbs.
KB 3630 30mm 36"x72" 43.2 lbs.
I would be surprised of you could CNC mill Kirei board, its not very high density and thus would probably crumble, chip or otherwise come apart.
thanks el jeffe...i was wondering about the pricing...any idea?
