Bamboo

 

clip-image001-thumb1Bamboo is a rapidly renewing resource that matures in three years. There has just recently been a bamboo introduced as certified to meeting various environmental production or preservation standards, so it is important to try to learn as much as you can about the bamboo you are interested in before purchasing it. Most bamboo is grown in Asia and the impact of transporting it to the United States market should be considered.

 Benefits of Bamboo:

If you’ve really got bamboo in mind, and want that extra level of durability, one choice which might be the answer is strand-woven bamboo. This is made from the parings of regular bamboo, lashed together and then laminated.

The visual effect is distinctive, and its comparable to some exotic hardwoods for hardness. Yet, it’s super-green. You can find it in natural, carbonized, various stains, and now in direct print, which takes it, and prints a hardwood pattern onto its surface.

I hope this suggestion helps.

Thanks for the post!
