Raw dough sticks far less to bamboo than to cold metal, so it's a very forgiving launch peel. And being wood, it goes from oven to table as a serving board.
Bamboo has a virtue metal doesn't: raw dough clings to it less, especially when it's well floured. That makes it a very friendly material for launching, particularly for beginners who still dread the moment the pizza sticks to the peel.
This 14" (35 cm) one suits 16" ovens, but its real charm is double duty: the moment you pull the pizza, the same peel becomes a serving and cutting board at the table, with the visual warmth of wood that suits a homemade-pizza spread so well.
Be clear that bamboo is for launching and serving, not for going into the oven's heat: it's not a metal turning peel and won't withstand sitting inside for long. Treated with care, dry and never left soaking, it lasts for years and gains a patina.
The prettiest peel and the most forgiving for launching raw dough, with a serving-board bonus. Not for turning inside the oven.

FAQ
Why does dough stick less to bamboo?
The porous wood surface, well floured, grips wet dough less than cold metal, which makes launching easier.
Can I put it in the oven?
No. It's for launching and for serving/cutting outside. Inside the oven you need a metal peel; bamboo won't take prolonged direct heat.
What oven size is it for?
It's 14" (35 cm), suited to pizzas in 16" ovens. It also works as a good-sized serving board.
How do I care for the bamboo?
Hand-wash with warm water, dry it straight away and don't leave it soaking. A little mineral oil now and then extends its life.
Can I cut the pizza on it?
Yes, it's designed as peel and board in one; you can cut on it, though mind the cutter's edge so you don't score the wood too deeply.
