I just saw a table in Crate and Barrel that had accent elements made of bamboo.
I turns out that I have access to groves of bamboo in my home state of South Carolina.....
So how would one take green bamboo and prepare it for use in furniture?
I assume:
- dry it.
- cut is carefully 'cause it will crack.
- use a oil finish because it just seems right....
BTW, I do not intend to use the bamboo for structural elements, just for accents -- although one could run a structural piece INSIDE of the bamboo. Hmmm.
What say y'all?
