Bamboo Caramel Sidepressed

Material Overview

Bamboo Caramel Sidepressed is a solid sheet material made from side-pressed, cross-glued strips, featuring a sleek, flawless surface on both sides. It is strong in the direction of the grain and has a warm caramel color with visible grain. Perfectly suited for laser cutting and engraving thanks to its silky smooth finish and robust structure.

It is important to note that 5 mm bamboo is relatively fragile. Because the sheets have a grain in only one direction, they are only sturdy lengthwise. Across the grain, the sheets are less strong.
