Boy, I found this down right interesting. It was in the latest Woodworkers Journal Ezine.

Think Plywood made from bamboo!

I've seen Bamboo flooring and it is very nice looking. But the Plywood sounds quite interesting. I would be curious of it's cost compared to standard plywoods :eusa_thin

Wonder if there are any retailers in the Carolinas where it can be seen? I haven't heard of any down here.

It doesn't look like it is retailed in the South but the Yankee dealer might ship it too us. One of their vendors has another "green" product that looks pretty cool too. It is a 4x8 sheet that looks like burl and is made from sunflower seed husks.......go figure:eusa_thin

I don't know about ply made from bamboo, but I do know that 3/4 ply with a bamboo veneeer is currently selling wholesale for over $200 per sheet- How many do you want?
