Has anyone reading this done it?
I was at Bamboo Hardwoods today in Seattle. The part owner was telling it me it stains very easily and it doesnt blotch.
I googled staining bamboo ply.
One item I came across is this
"We do not recommend applying color stain directly to the raw bamboo as it is difficult to get the stain even. If a stain is required, first seal the bamboo with one coat of finish or a wood stain conditioner and then apply the stain, or you can mix the stain into your sealer. This will give it a uniform finish. Always test any finish on the underside. "
So whats your experience with it? Is it very pourous? End grain looks like it is to me.
