I know I have asked if you make some dimensional size bamboo stock. I would like to build more with bamboo, but here in the mid west (Indiana) items need to be somewhat traditional. building traditional things with bamboo is a big change for some. I need access to some 1″ x 2″, 3″, 4″, 6″ inch material. I can not show the bamboo plywood edges. I want to build some cabinet door frames as well and need some solid stock.
We no longer sell dimensional bamboo, only bamboo plywood. The only way to conceal the edges of the plywood are to use a matching veneer or paint, but we think the edge is one of the coolest things about our plywood.
