Strong and elegant, bamboo has been used for thousands of years for home building and furniture.
Unlike traditionnal hardwoods, bamboo is made from quick growing bamboo stalks. Botanically they are not wood but grass and are the fastest growing woody plant on earth. They grow in large amounts and to a height of 60’ within the first several months of growth and thereafter are harvested every 3 – 5 years. If it is not cut within 5 years, the bamboo will fall. It must be used or lost unlike the use of hardwood trees which are normally decades old when cut. This makes bamboo one of the most renewable and abundant natural resources on the planet.
