Something new!

How to make a "Bamboo Partition"

I started with a section of 4' X 6' Bamboo fencing

Then using 1" X 2" pine strips, built a basic frame to fit the Bamboo

Then I use the 1" X 2" Pine strips to frame the sides of the frame

One side done, now flip it over...

Drop the Bamboo into the frame & drill holes on the top & bottom of the Bamboo about every foot, Fasten with screws & nail strips onto the frame to enclose it.

Cut 2, 2' sections of 2" X 4" for the legs & set screws to hold them firmly in place.

That's the basic partition, now lets finish it.

Used a hand torch to burn highlights & bring out the grain of the pine.

Give the frame a nice sanding, apply a wood stain of your choice
and seal with a good wood sealant.

Now for that extra touch, you can mount a Tiki mask or whatever floats your boat
on the partition for that little extra touch, here is what I used.

And what it looks like in place.

Cocktail time!

P.S. Sand the wood before you burn the grain, got a little ahead of the steps.
