Well my garage has some how turned into the Islander Bamboo Factory and I've been putting in some OT.

Last week I took Moondog426 up on his invitation to join him in giving coats to the homeless. I brought him a few pieces of Bamboo and I had a chance to visit his totally awesome Tiki lounge. I wish I would have taken pictures. He gave me a cool mug and delivered a box of Bamboo to Vamp's Dick Dale Pre Party for me. Thanks Moondog426!

I thought I would post some pics of the factory so here goes!


This is just part of the treasure that is left.


Next I do some cutting if the request is for some smaller pieces.


If I cut a piece I will sand down the edge that I cut, otherwise no sanding.


Next I wash it in my wife's new sink! She's so happy!


After I let it dry I label each piece with a sharpie.


Some old English Oil helps bring out the beauty of the Bamboo.


Some quality Hemp for the Tagging.


Tag done on parchment paper.


Big piece ready for Shipping.


Two pieces waiting for new home at Tobunga's.


I'm sending these with Tobunga to give out to TCers during his Tiki Travels.

Ok that's it for now! :)
