PlybooStrand 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 straw and dark tones, PlybooStrand bamboo plywood is sanded to a smooth 180-grit and is an open-grain material that takes finishes exceptionally well.
