Natural Planked Bamboo veneer has a straight, 3/4" vertical linear grain with random nodules and wide band, thick strand or cane, and a butcher block pattern. The color is a natural pale yellow or blonde, in the style of Teragren. Bamboo is not wood, but actually a grass.
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 yellow to 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.
