Bamboo veneer is manufactured from bamboo blocks laminated with water-proof adhesive and kiln-dried bamboo strips. The bamboo blocks are first laminated, then conditioned and soaked for two weeks before being sliced into veneer sheets.Bamboo veneer is more difficult to produce than conventional solid wood veneers, due in part to the number of glue joints that reduce yield. Bamboo veneer is backed with either a paper or fabric fleece material to give the product more stability and strength.
