Carbonized Planked Bamboo veneer has a straight, 3/4" wide, vertical grain with random nodules and wide band, thick strand or cane, and dark tan caramelized color. It is similar in look to butcher block. It has an amber, warm color and is somewhat tropical. Carbonized Planked has wider bands than its unplanked counterpart and is linear grain, in the style of Teragren. Bamboo is a grass that comes from Asia.
Bamboo is a highly sustainable veneer. Some species grow nearly three feet a day during the growing season. Although bamboo is technically a grass, it has a woody stem, called a culm, that can be sliced and fashioned into a very attractive veneer. Strong and flexible, bamboo veneer is available in both natural and carbonized (sometimes called caramelized) color. The natural bamboo veneer is a light tan and the carbonized is a deeper honey tan to light brown. Planked bamboo sheets exhibit the familiar bamboo markings and the vertical bamboo option has more of a straight grain.
All bamboo veneer is available in 4’ x 8’ and 4’ x 10’ sheets, in your choice of a 10mil or 22.2 mil (Bubble Free Veneer) backer. 3M PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive), also known as sticky-back and peel-and-stick, is available by special order only. Special orders are non-refundable. All in-stock veneer is refundable for 365 days after purchase, with no restocking fee.
