Ongoing Plywood Woes

The bamboo plywood I am using to construct all of the cabinets and built-ins for the new house has been a pleasure to work with save for the fact that it wears out carbide-tipped tools very quickly. Not so pleasant have been all of the mistakes made by the supplier. (1) Selected a carrier that did not have the right equipment to provide the contracted delivery method. (2) The second “rescue” carrier had the right equipment but arrived on site with the wrong kind of truck on their first delivery attempt. (3) When it was finally delivered (several weeks late), every single one of the 36 sheets had some form of water damage. (4) We ordered the carbonized color (darker one above) and received several that are of the natural color). We even received some sheets that are carbonized on one side and natural on the other, which is not even a product that the company sells. The photo above is of two sides of the same board! Thus far the company seems prepared to make things right so I am just rolling with the punches for now. I have been cutting off and scrapping water damaged sections or using them in non-visible locations. The mixed color challenge will be the most time consuming to address as it will required staining the natural boards to match the carbonized.
