    Abstract: A bamboo board of the present invention is produced by preparing a plurality of square tubular bodies fabricated by cutting a surface layer of tubes that form bamboo rods so that the cross sectional surfaces that are orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the bamboo rods have two groups of two parallel facing surfaces, aligning the plurality of square tubular bodies parallel to one another, and gluing facing cut surfaces of the plurality of square tubular bodies in place by means of a first adhesive agent. The bamboo board is produced as a tube without splitting bamboo rods or cutting and shaping an arc-shaped bamboo material into a planar shape in a conventional method is a light-weight board having a sufficient strength, due to less deformation such as warping when using bamboo shaped into a planar configuration and use of a natural hollow structure of bamboo.
