Description

Bamboo, bemoaned by many as a runaway weed, is treasured in many cultures around the world for its strength, durability, and versatility. This book illustrates ways in which any person capable of using a saw, rasp, screwdriver, and chisel can set about to create beautiful furnishings and useful accessories for the home. Patience, practice, and the application of sharp tools, hot glue, and accurate measurements, promise to enable you to make your own creations. Illustrations and basic instructions for bamboo tables, chairs and seats, bedroom furniture, hall racks and stands, cabinets and bookcases, window blinds, and many other articles are provided, along with a thorough primer on the tools and techniques for working this fast-growing grass. Many designs are inspired by Asian models, very popular in today's decor. Read more

  • Five Stars
very good

  • How-To Bamboo
I am still looking for a book that shows the use of bamboo plywood in design. This book shows how to build with bamboo canes. Even though it wasn't what I wanted it does give some great information about the nature of bamboo when building furniture, has easy step by step directions that are simple to follow and gets the artistic juices flowing! ... show more

  • Very disappointed
Not at all what I expected or wanted. Not basic simple pieces. About the only thing it is good for is showing the way to make the tie to hold it together. Very disappointed.

  • reconstituted material
This book was first published in 1853. There are no real pictures only drawings of old style bamboo furniture. Uses old woodworking tools that don't even exist anymore. No newer techniques. Instructions only half there. They talk about trays to attach to the table, but don't say where the tray comes from. I wanted some simple instructions. These were large projects with a lot of detailed work. Big Disapointment. ... show more

  • not worth the time or money
This reprint has some nice old photos, but nothing concrete in the way of buildable measured drawings.

nothing more than a printed paper & bad drawing

  • Republish of out-of-copyright work
I won this at an auction and was very disappointed. It's just a very old book that went out of copyright that someone republished hoping to cash in on bamboo vogue. The designs are not pleasant to modern taste and the direction on how to construct even if you wanted to are practically impossible to follow. ... show more
