Synopses & Reviews
From harvesting to assembling projects, this photo-filled introduction to bamboo fundamentals gives advice on preparing, buying, drying and weathering, preventing and dealing with insect damage, plus instructions for cleaning, cutting, splitting, joining, attaching, bending, flattening, finishing, and preserving. Picture a curved bamboo handrail along a walkway, a low trellis for climbing plants, a charming porch swing, a simple Japanese flower container, even an outdoor shower stall. Lush photography and abundant illustrations make this easy to use...and a treat for the eyes.
