Why Choose Bamboo?
The one and only! Bamboo brings you a unique experience in building gorgeous wood projects - it's straight grained and strong like white oak, but it offers a totally different look that's warm, modern, and subtle in beauty.
Finally, woodworkers can enjoy adding bamboo to their woodworking projects with real bamboo veneer. Bamboo is lauded as a highly sustainable natural product that's durable and resilient, making it fantastic in many fine woodworking projects. The veneer is just as strong and offers you a way to make attractive panels for desk tops, tables, cabinets, cabinet doors, and so on.
