[Design and Technology] bamboo as a sustainable material

[johnsosa at mlc.vic.edu.au]

Hi all, 

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

to produce this material. I have sourced a supplier in Mulgrave ( see
web -  
http://www.crikeybamboo.com.au/our-products/mosowood-plys-a-veneers)  

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.

Regards

Sally Johnson
