Swanky,
while I got you, let me ask you another bamboo question. How about staining bamboo. I can't get bamboo to take stain very well at all. I've tried sanding and scouring with steel wool, maybe I'm not sanding it down enough. I've seen bamboo items like bars and stuff that have a rich brown stain, but I can't seem to get it to stick to mine. Is there a trick to it?
