I’ve been exploring bamboo as a sustainable material for my furniture designs, and I’m curious about what tools folks use for working with it. Any suggestions or tips on cutting and finishing bamboo effectively? I’d love to hear your experiences.
Cutting bamboo’s like slicing through a soft piece of cake, but using a fine-toothed saw will really help avoid splintering. Have you considered using a miter saw for those clean edges? It can make a world of difference.
Bamboo can be tricky, but I’ve found using a jigsaw works wonders for curved cuts. It may splinter a bit, but a few passes with fine sandpaper after can really help with the finish. Have you looked into pre-drilling holes for any hardware? It can save you some headaches down the line.
