Northwest Bamboo, Inc. specializes in crafting and distributing the finest quality in bamboo building materials, including dimensional lumber, plywood panels, veneer and countertops, and more.
Since 1999, we have been importing and distributing dimensional bamboo lumber and bamboo plywood panels. Applications for bamboo lumber and bamboo plywood are as varied as your imagination. Furniture, cabinetry, laser engraving, skateboards to name a few. Almost anything you can make from wood can be made from bamboo. Your normal wood working tools will work fine with bamboo lumber. You can finish with commercially available finishes. Brush, spray or wipe on applications will bring out the beautiful color and grain of the bamboo.
Homeowners, craftspeople, contractors and manufactures all get the same personal attention. We pride ourselves on our quality bamboo building materials and personal service. No minimums required of for stock material and we do cut to ship smaller orders. Samples available upon request. (Pricelist)
Dimensional bamboo lumber has all of it's layers running the 8-foot direction. Vertical planks have one or two layers, horizontal planks have 4 or 5 layers, depending upon thickness. We offer three sizes of dimensional bamboo lumber.
All of our bamboo plywood panels are 4’ x 8’. Panels are available in three types of construction: single ply, 3 ply and micro laminates. The single ply is used for items that will have multiple layers built up and where the bamboo's strength and flexibility comes into play, such as skateboards and archery equipment. The 3 ply is cross laminated with the core going the 4' direction. These panels are very strong and can be used for furniture, cabinetry and crafts. The micro laminates are made from cross laminated bamboo veneer. Even though these aren't very thick they are very tough. They are used extensively in the laser cutting world for things such as bamboo jewelry, signage, point of sale boxes and product displays.
We offer the following sizes:
Our bamboo veneers come with a cellulose veneer backing and can be glued with the same adhesives as other wood veneers. The sheets of bamboo veneer are 49.5" x 98''. The two grain patterns are vertical and horizontal and the colors for each are natural and carbonized.
We look forward to speaking with you and supplying you with premium quality bamboo products and materials.
