Where can I find 1/16 bamboo plywood or veneer

[Ricardo Capelli]

I am trying to find bamboo plywood or veneer in 1/16 thickness. I appreciate any help or tips. Thanks.

Try the website for dealer locations, the manufacturer that I use is local and I also do some work for them:

We also have a local store that sells it, and I think they do web sales:

Both have veneer and various thickness of boards and ply.

Ricardo,

I have ordered 1/8" samples from other suppliers, not the two that Joe mentioned here. It depends how you will use the material. By itself it is unstable and will cup and warp as it is single ply construction. I wanted to use 1/8" ply but could not find it as a three ply (most stable) material. I settled on 1/4" 3-ply material and it is stable in small pieces, say 12" or so wide.

If you have plans to laminate it to a stable substrate then you are home free. Let us know if you find something useable.
