Bamboo is one of the most remarkable resources on Earth. As a
member of the grass family, not a tree, it grows at a much
quicker rate than any other wood. From start to harvest (60-70
feet tall) it can take just four years. Bamboo is naturally
anti-microbial, therefore stopping bacteria from growing. It is
also one of the strongest yet lightest materials around. Bamboo
is 16% stronger than Maple and is 33% lighter in weight than
Oak. What is probably most remarkable is its unique extensive
root system. When bamboo is harvested its natural root system
spreads and automatically regenerates itself. Virtually all of
the bamboo we harvest is used in the process. When we harvest
the bamboo stalks at 70 feet it is cut up and divided into
different production materials. The bottom section is primarily
used for flooring and building materials. This is usually the
toughest and hardest pieces to bend. The middle section is used
by our factories to make these lovely handcrafted products
ranging from our assorted boards t
