    Bamboo

    I started a thread in another area about bamboo boards, considering it for a kitchen remodel. Then I contacted the manufacturer who says that it's laserable, available in veneer, and boards 1/4" - 3/4" Anyone lasered it yet? They are sending me a sample kit to play with, turns out they are local just a few miles from the shop.

    Joe, you might want to PM Mike McKenzie on this subject. When I was at his shop getting a demo last year, he was engraving some bamboo cutting boards for a local restaurant.

    Bamboo

    Here's the online info for one store, but they do have local distributors. Look for the brand name Teragren. Prices at the bottom. Not cheap.
