LETO Narrow Grain Carbonised Bamboo Plywood
Description
Description
LETO™ Narrow Grain Carbonised Bamboo Plywood is a premium quality, eco-friendly plywood that is perfect for a wide range of applications. Made from high-quality bamboo, it has a beautiful, distinctive look with a narrow grain pattern and a rich, warm colour that is perfect for adding a touch of natural beauty to any space.
This plywood is carbonised, a process that gives it enhanced durability and a darker colour tone. It is also carefully crafted to have a tight, narrow grain pattern, which adds to its strength and stability. It is available in a variety of thicknesses, from 0.6mm to 40mm.
Narrow Grain Carbonised Bamboo Plywood is perfect for use in a wide range of applications, from cabinetry, furniture, and decorative panels. It is easy to work with and can be cut and shaped to fit any project.
Specifications
Specifications
Material: 100% bamboo
Grain style: Narrow Grain - Carbonised
Characteristics: Tight-knit, linear grain with small visible notches in a warm milk coffee tone. The consistent grain direction creates a refined, contemporary aesthetic ideal for clean, minimalist designs. The fine, dense grain delivers exceptional detail for laser etching and printing.
Finish & sealing: Panels are shipped with an unsanded factory finish at 8-15% moisture content and flat. While suitable for immediate use, a light sand with 180-220 grit will create a silky surface ready for finishing. As a natural material, bamboo is prone to movement and fungal attack when exposed to moisture or dry conditions, so sealing all faces promptly after cutting and assembly is essential to maintain stability. Water-borne finishes are recommended as they penetrate into the bamboo rather than sitting as a surface film, and won't yellow the natural colour. Note that the first coat will raise the grain and requires light sanding before applying subsequent coats.
Tolerance: ±3-5mm on dimensions; 1mm/m on flatness and edge straightness
Recommended applications: Joinery, cabinets, benchtops, tables, doors, wall and ceiling cladding, partitions, stair treads, shopfitting, signage, furniture, and laser etching projects. With exceptional hardness (Janka rating 3,800-5,000 vs oak at 1,360), bamboo panels are exceptionally resistant to denting and wear, making them particularly suited to high-traffic commercial applications.
Cutting & machining: Bamboo's density requires sharp tools for clean results. Use diamond-tipped saw blades when cutting. For CNC routing or detailed work, reduce feed rate by 50% and use sharp compression bits to prevent chipping.
Laminating to substrate: When laminating bamboo panels onto another substrate (such as MDF or plywood), use water-based non-toxic adhesives. For large panels or table tops, apply bamboo to both sides of the substrate to create a balanced construction that prevents warping or twisting.
Edging: Bamboo panels have an attractive edge that can be left exposed as a design feature - simply sand and seal along with all other faces. No edge banding required unless desired for aesthetic reasons.

Important information:
- Bamboo panels vary in colour and grain pattern between batches, and the factory occasionally makes changes to face styles, core construction and colours between production runs. Product images should be used as a general reference only. If matching is important for your project, let us know before ordering - we can supply from the same batch and arrange a sample for approval.
- As a natural wood product plywood can be affected by ambient conditions and may bow. Sheets are flat at dispatch but must be fastened promptly to maintain flatness. This is particularly important for non-fastened cabinet doors.
