Flat grain, natural

Plyboo architectural plywood is made from 100% rapidly renewable bamboo. This plywood can be cut and sanded using conventional woodworking equipment and offers excellent dimensional stability. It can also be glued or mechanically fastened using the same materials and fasteners commonly used with wood. Available in both an amber and a natural light tone, Plyboo bamboo plywood is sanded to a smooth 180-grit and is an open-grained material that takes stains and finishes exceptionally well. FSC-certified and urea formaldehyde-free (PlybooPure) bamboo panels are now available.
