Default Bamboo

I did a kitchen in Bamboo last February, and I used Teragren. They are
based in Bainbridge Island, Wash. I bought it from Brady Hardwoods in Kent,
Wash.

We used Verticle Grain Solid Stock Panel, Carmelized. NOTE: Understand the
diference between "Solid Stock Panel" and "Panel" before you order. 3/4" x
4' x 8' Solid Stock Panel ran about $275.00/ Sheet.

I ripped face frame stock out of the sheets and built face frames with
pocket screws.Worked Great!

I finished it with 4 coats M.L.Campbells Ultrastar Water-Born Satin lacquer.

The stuff is Heavy. It works easy, but it will burn if you hesitate. It
sands like a dream:

Good Luck! Woodson
