Carl Shifflett Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Hi, new to the forum but not to Scroll Sawing. I have just came across a product called Plyboo. It is a Baboo laminated ply and looks like it would make a nice media for Fretwork. Has any one tried this product and if so how's the cutting? Thanks, Shiffy Quote

Rob Roy Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Hello Carl and welcome to the village, I don't think that will be available to us over the pond so to speak, Thanks for the imfo, Bob You can get ply backed bamboo flooring in the UK Bob, but I would imagine it could be a bit hard on scroll blades Rob Roy. bobscroll 1 Quote

heppnerguy Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Carl, i have not heard of this product being for sale anywhere around my area, but I have scrolled bamboo in thin sheets, which might be the name of the product, and I was not aware of it. I have to say that bamboo is a wonderful item to scroll because is it very dense and it does not break easily when cutting. I cut a small ornament out of bamboo and it was not any thicker than a sheet of paper. It came out realy well. I would not hesitate to give it a go if I were you. Dick heppnerguy Quote

LarryEA Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 interesting, If I needed it for a project, I would seek it out. I guess I just don't need it but nice to know it's there. Welcome Carl, You here to stay for a while? Quote
ike Posted November 1, 2014 Report Posted November 1, 2014 Welcome from Ohio; Sound interesting. but I don't know where you can get it in the thin plywood verity. Quote
Carl Shifflett Posted November 2, 2014 Author Report Posted November 2, 2014 Sorry I should of posted a link. http://www.plyboo.com/ I saw some cutting boards cut into various shapes like States and animals with some detail. I think they were done on CNC. You can request samples on their website so I think I'll start there. Phantom Scroller, LarryEA and Wilson's Woodworking 3 Quote

MrsN Posted November 3, 2014 Report Posted November 3, 2014 I have made things from bamboo cutting board. Sometimes you can find nice cutting boards in the clearance section of HomeGoods or TJMax and similar stores. The cutting boards that I have used cut really well, but left a very fine sawdust. similar to mdf, probably due to all the glue used. It also has a different smell. I cant remember what the smell was, but it was different. Quote
