BAMBOO

---

my samples:


tiny "plank"


flooring sample and end grain --- I was puzzled by this piece, as it appears to be a quartersawn section of an amazingly thick bamboo stalk. I have never experienced bamboo anywhere near as thick as this and was not aware that such existed, but upon close examination of the end grain closeup below, I now see that this is a very skillful laminate, not a solid piece

veneer --- I have never seen bamboo veneer but I assume the washed out color is either incorrect or there is some bleaching process used in the veneer creation.


bowls --- you can see the segmenting pretty clearly
