We have been expecting this- bamboo as lumber replacement. "Due to recent technological advancements, it is now possible to convert raw bamboo culms into more conventional lumber and plywood such that it can be used to build virtually anything that traditionally has been made from wood." Ecodesignz produces tables, chairs and doors out of bamboo, using it like regular wood- there now appear to be no limitations to where and how bamboo can be used. We look forward to more exciting designs and one less z. ::Ecodesignz thanks, tipster guppygirl!
