Thanks for any and all help.

Plyboo

There are a few manufactures that are making Bamboo plywood. Plyboo is
one name I remember but there are others. It comes in different colors
which is achieved by toasting or cooking it. t is harder than Maple.
They make it by creating consistent sized strips about the dimensions
of a chop stick (but longer) and they press it together in a resin
glue bath to make sheets. You can get it cut along the edge or across
the end for different patterns.

You can treat it just like solid wood. It takes the same glues. Works
with the same cutters although it can get fuzzy when sanded sometimes
and it is very abrasive so tools get dull quick.

Don't usually see it in anything but full sized sheets 4' x 8' but
"maybe" you could buy solid bamboo flooring which is made from the
same stuff and use that.

I have seen it laminated into blocks and turned into bowls, etc.
Anything solid wood can do. Not sure about water proof but easily
water resistant. Maybe not good for the dishwasher but not sure.

Most local commercial wood suppliers that sell sheet goods can get
this or have it already.
