<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have become intrigued with Bamboo as a material to use in furniture making. My intrigue has been sparked by the sustainable / renewable and ecologically friendly methods used<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">to produce this material. I have sourced a supplier in Mulgrave ( see web - <a href="http://www.crikeybamboo.com.au/our-products/mosowood-plys-a-veneers">http://www.crikeybamboo.com.au/our-products/mosowood-plys-a-veneers</a>)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">specifically for veneers and sheet material. Commonly used for flooring at the moment because of its durability and hardness, they have a couple of samples of furniture in the showroom that have been made using this product and it is very
appealing. Just thought I would pass on information that may be relevant to the new study as of next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
