Okay, I use the term veneer to describe the exterior finish on the wood and that is unrelated to the three types of bamboo ply, that's all.“veneer”.

The pics you show are not strand bamboo, they are vertical bamboo with a tiger strand veneer.
Therefore, which one is more adequate for speaker cabinet between the two attached pictures?Composite Bamboo ply is great stuff to build cabinets with. It ain’t exactly inexpensive though. I have a cutting board that has lived outside since 2007……still looks good and lies flat…..I can think of no better test than that. In all fairness, it’s on a Teak table……and the table looks a little better.
You meant the bamboo ply from the attached pictures are the best?Yes pics 1 and 4 are vertical and the second best. Pics 2 and 3 look to be horizontal and are considered the least desirable for this. Although it may be just fine, the other two are considered superior.
Regarding 2 and 4, don't you think this type has any voids?Let's not confuse things. Now the pics in post #49 appear to be duplicates. 1 is the same as 3 and 2 is the same as 4.
2 and 4 are the better board.
what is bamboo wood sound like as cabinet?
No. I know a very good cabinet maker in my area but he never build anything with bamboo in the past.I doubt either orientation has voids. It will be stiffer than mdf. Are you building these yourself?
