Bamboo Caramel Sidepressed

Material Overview

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

It is important to note that 5mm bamboo is relatively fragile, as the sheets have grain in only one direction, making them sturdy only in the longitudinal direction. Across the grain, the sheets are less sturdy.
