Bamboo
veneer is manufactured from blocks laminated with
water-proof adhesive and bamboo strips. The blocks are first
laminated, then conditioned and soaked for two weeks before
being sliced into veneer sheets. Bamboo veneer is more difficult
to produce than conventional solid wood veneers, due in part
to the number of glue joints that reduce yield. Bamboo veneer
is backed with either a paper or fleece material to give the
product more stability and strength. Producing un-backed veneers
is possible, but very fragile and hard to transport. This
can result in a lower yield due to damaged material.
Bamboo veneers work well in the manufacturing process, but
due to different adhesives and press temperatures at different
lamination houses it is best to run a few test samples to
be sure everything is working well. Bamboo veneer tends to
be more porous and can take more finish – run some test
finish applications to get the right feel.
Smith & Fong also provides veneer produced laid up on
thin 3-ply plywood. The dimension of this product is 1/8”
x 48” x 96” and is available in both colors and
grain types (please refer to the BP-1896 series of sheet goods
for this product). This product can save both time and expense.
We also provide a face grain product in amber and natural
in a 2mm x 16” x 72” dimension (please refer to
the BHV-1272 series). This product is not a sliced material
and does not require a backing.
