Bamboo Shelving

[Craig D Peltier]

1" Thick carbonized vertical grain from Plyboo Bamboo Plywood shelves. Made to hold books. Looked pretty good.

I do like this Craig. I've become a fan of the looks of bamboo recently. I haven't always been but of late it has grown on me. And the color of your shelves is great. As well as the proportions. Great looking shelves Craig, would love to have them in my house.

Wow...kewel material! And I like what you built with it, too. Nice...

[John Shuk]

All around excellent. Looks very strong as well.

Looks good.

Are the shelves loose, and if so, did you mount the uprights to the wall via screws behind the shelves?

The shelves have one screw holding it down under top curve of corbel. I routed a groove behind corbel and screwed a hanger flush to it, then screwed the screws into wall far enough so it kept it flush.

Looks good.

Those look great. Is that torsion box construction?

[Craig D Peltier]

No thats how the sheets come, there solid through and through. Thats what you get for $239 a sheet!

Okay, now I get it (had to go to the Plyboo website and look at other pictures for it to sink in, though ).

Did you have to do anything special for the end grain on the middle ply?

[Craig D Peltier]

No finisher said it took extra sealer though.the whole job did, I guess it sucks it in pretty good. I like Plyboos carbonized color verse say Higuera.

very nice. I like the looks of bamboo but it is not the greatest material. Sticks so bad my shop reeks after I cut it on the cnc router. Plus the cores can have gaps in them. for something so expensive it is not made that well.

We have a saying in the shop , "smells like panda pee" It does stink and your right about the voids.
