Smith and Fong in SSF has it. It is not cheap!!!!. Sit down when they tell you the price. PALS can probably get it for you and it might be worth pricing it there. Other places to check would be Higgins and Aura, max

Have you seen the bamboo cutting boards coming from Asia these days? all laminated small pieces, I think they would be quite hard on a knife edge.

No harder than the acrylic ones that are sold in kitchen stores. Kitchen knives are soft and get dull frequently. That is why a steel works so well and why butchers and sushi chefs are always honing there knives. I also read a report that wooden cutting boards are safer germ wise than plastic. max

Have you DAGS for this? The bamboo flooring supplier with whom I have dealt carries a plywood/paneling material, as do several of the others. Look for them online; the company I bought from was called TimberGrass.
