In Reply to: Laminated bamboo is amazingly good posted by jonbee on June 16, 2024 at 09:20:50:
The core is vertical fillets of furniture-grade Bamboo, all glued side-by-side, clad front and back with 0.125 layers of the Richlite Phenolic/Paper Slurry composite. A 12 x 12 inch, 1.0 inch thick Partial Sheet costs $72 plus shipping and perhaps sales tax.
The top photo is of a test piece front panel that I just sent out to an outside contractor that does special piano finishing jobs for Steinway & Sons.
The edge closest to the camera, the short edge, shows the bamboo fillets; and the sides show the long grain.
The photo below that shows what the result is when a Richlite Bamboo Stratum front panel gets sent out to a gold-medal-winning violin maker for seven hand-rubbed coats of real oil-based violin varnish. I call that speaker design the "Roxy Deluxe."
