    What I did with that $275 per sheet Bamboo Plyboo.....

    Hey folks, Here was the previous thread that described how I procured this Bamboo plywood. http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/showthread.php?t=50205 So the Plyboo was very flat, stable, dense, and took a 1/8" radius easing bit just fine with minimal precautions against tearout. Due to the...

    $325 per sheet bamboo plywood...Huh?

    Searched far and wide and the cheapest I can get 2 sheets of 3/4 Bamboo Plywood is $650. Wurth no longer stocks anywhere and their pricing and shipping is the "We really don't want to sell it" range. The price above is from CaliBamboo and I even hear some grumblings about it. Jackson...
