Bamboo is used for, well: EVERYTHING!
Bamboo is a great product for flooring and many other applications. As always I caution people from overselling any product including bamboo. A good refresher on that topic is the article, “Is Bamboo for You?”.
How many of us really understand the many many ways that bamboo is now used?
Did you know you can eat bamboo? Sure most Asian cuisine includes nice little bamboo shoots in soups and they are great! For some recipes check out Wikipedia.:
Did you know you can wear bamboo? Spinning bamboo yarn is now a standard type of apparel. Check out bamboo clothes!
Bamboo building materials are everywhere, bamboo fencing, bamboo panels, bamboo floors, bamboo decking, bamboo blinds and bamboo rug! It’s everywhere.
Bamboo is used to make musical instruments like flutes, pipes and even saxophones!
Of course you can make bamboo furniture, fishing poles, kites, bird cages, plywood and even bamboo boats.
A truly flexible material by any standard! (Here are some more uses: JMBAMBOO.)
Today I was looking through inventory and noticed that we have about 1000 cartons of 6′ bamboo in the woodstock 6′ ampu series.
A great looking material and instock status for those lucky customers that are able to act quickly.
At less than $4.00 per foot this material is definitely not going to last long. We have seen so many selling lower grade material while still calling it “Premium”, but unless you know what you are looking for claims like this are usually not 100% accurate.
Good luck to those who are able to take advantage of this short term opportunity.
