Special Bamboo Material

Pages: 1 4 replies

I am searching for a special bamboo product.
I would like to locate a bamboo mat (at least 4'x3') that is made up of very thin and narrow bamboo slats bound to rigid substrate. What I want to do is use this material in automobile door panels and headliners, so it needs to be a little rigid, as thin as possible and capable of being bonded or fastened to other items (and mounted upside down and vertically).

Anyone every run across something like that?

I'd try these guys over in your neck of the woods. In so cal I'd do oceanic artshttp://www.safarithatch.com/post/products/productCategory.aspx?id=5

I suggest woven bamboo veneer. It's very thin yet rigid. I used the woven 1 ply standard weave for my ceiling, it takes stain very well. They're located in Seattle but ship all over the place.
Bamboo Hardwoods - Woven Veneer

Give these guys a look, They ship worldwide. I use the bamboo paneling, it's on a fabric backing, glues great and is bendable.
