why is bamboo plywood so expensive ?

This is mainly because Bamboo itself needs finishing before it is turned into plywood,which is a very expensive process.

You can't find one that easily, I'ld advise you to talk to a realy good carpenter whose been a carpenter for more than 10 years and ask him to go through your wood list with you and tell you which types of wood absorb faster or more than the others.

There is no such thing as a fixed manufacturing cost.  The cost is always going to be in a state of flux depending on the raw material cost, shipping, labor, inventory, storage costs.

if its a single piece it could be worth a lot\nbut also realize it will be very expensive to send to someone because of the weight and size (girth of package)\n\nCheck out eBay, search for petrified wood\n\nlapidary dealers deal in minerals and petrified wood, currently there isa 10-lb piece being auctioned at 100$\n\nif there is a lapidary dealer in your area maybe they can tell you if its extraordianry or not\n\nIs it from the petrified forest in Arizona?

Good question? I think it comes from platinum. A bar of pure platinum would be really expensive.

I can't find much about bamboo's fractal aspects, if any. However the main form is a tube whose wall is strengthened by microtubes, so there is a degree of fractality, but it does not appear to go to lower levels. The structure is interesting as an example of natural optimization, though. Ref. 2 states that bamboo "has the ability to withstand high velocity winds. On a macroscopic scale the nodes, which occur periodically along the length of the bamboo, impart stability and rigidity to the plant. The cleavage and tensile strengths across the fibre direction are also raised considerably in the presence of the nodes. An analysis of the stresses experienced by the bamboo during bending indicates that the maximum stresses are generated at the outer part of the culm. The microstructure of the bamboo indicates that the density of distribution of the vascular bundles, which act as the reinforcing component, is the highest in the outer green layer." Ref. 3 contains some interesting detailed views of the bamboo microstructure.

For the same reason that a plasma TV or a Saab is expensive: you pay for the quality of the product. Plus it doesn't help that they're an extremely hot item right now.

Not to sure if this is what you are looking for looks pricey.\n\nGood luck.

Wow.  You have just over-simplified a very complicated question.  Congratulations.  Now, here's your answer:\n\nIt really depends most upon your building products.  If you are building out of straw, it costs less than wood or brick, but you probably won't have as sturdy of a building.  If you are looking for protection from the huff and puff of the wind, go with brick.  It should run you about 4 million ruples a square acre.

A lot.  The metallic finish means that more than one layer is needed.  Expect to pay several hundred dollars.
