it seems the layers are very thick. 18mm with 3layers only?
how's the sound compared to good birch ply?
It is only 3 layers. The middle ply is bambbo blocks, the outer layers are strands of bamboo bonded together in a matrix. This makes it conceptually much like the aluminum skinned honeycomb used in airplanes and such.
It is stiffer, and sounds better than BB. It is also some 10x as expensive (ignoring that you have to pay for the veneer to cover the BB). To take max advantage it is more complex to cut and assemble. It is lovely with a clear coat.
Our earlier bamboo builds were with laminate outer plys (strips of bamcoo) and from early in its availability in north america (only 2 finishes), Even with lower stiffness ahead of BB.
As soon as we get the right drivers in them we will do a photoshop of the 3 sets we made with the stranded neopolitan,

dave,
At supermarket in China, I saw a kind of bamboo plate for cutting meats and vegetables using in kitchen. It is very solid and heavy with high density. I think this should be the one what you said the bamboo plywood.
Bamboo cutting boards. We can buy those too. they are a single layer side-by side laminate. Not as stiff or suitable as the plywood.
Materials lik this are the harbinger of building materials made of renewable grasses (notable bamboo & hemp)
dave
Yes, there are many bamboo plywood suppliers in China.
These bamboo plywood in 3 layers shown should be what you said, dave.
Thanks,
Tony.

That is the strip outer layer. If you can find stranded it is quite a bit stiffer.
The stuff you pictured is still good, but the surface is softer than the stranded and easier to dent. The one plus is that it is quite a bit lighter.

dave,
Is it good to use thicker plywood 24mm at front panel for Pensil 10.2?
Thanks,
Tony.
No. That will screw up the tuning. If you want to make the cabinets better than they already are put in some bracing. The brace that connects the back of the driver to the back of the box is particularily useful at improving the downward dynamic range, and the Alpairs are capable enuff to make good of it.

There are really different bamboo plywood.
This has stranded and should be right one for cabinet.
Bamboo Plywood - Cali Bamboo plywood and veneer for kitchen countertops, cabinets, furniture, bars

Yes, that's the right kind of stuff. A number of different external colour schemes. Available from a number of vendors here (ours weren't sourced from Cali (otherwise i would enter them in their monthly contest), but they were one of the most helpfull when it came to getting info. Plyboo should have it as well as they are who i actually got quantitive data from (we didn't get ours from them either).

dave,
My friend recommended to brush Danish Oil to the surface of cabinets. Is this good?

It is said that the Danish Oil can be applied to guitar and well protect wood.
I wouldn't know, Chris builds & finishes all our cabinets.

That stuff does look quite nice, but I am slightly confused by the price. I thought you said that it was about 10x the price of baltic birch plywood, but at a cost of less than $200 a sheet that doesn't seem to be the case.
Those sheets do look pretty attractive though, I hope to see more pictures of your completed cabinets.

Where did you find that price? We buy wholesale and it cost us a lot more than that.

A Quebec supplier, they have their price list on their website
plancher bambou, bamboo flooring, Planchers Bois Franc montreal, panneau en bambou,cuisine de bambou,meuble en bambou
That doesn't include shipping, maybe I am missing something, but it doesn't seem to be overly expensive.
