Hello all
I'm wondering if anyone ahs worked with bamboo, I have a bamboo cutting board I'm thinking about using to make a bowl from Carole's book ( the one on page 118 for those of you that have the book). If you have worked with it can you tell me what it like to work with. Cutting, Gluing, Sanding and Finishing. How is it campaired to pine. The bamboo in the cutting board is dark so I think about using some pine along the outside edge of the of the blank I make for the bowl so it will be helpful to know how it sand compaired to pine. Any help anyone can give me would be great it will help me know better is I should go forward with this project or not.
