H Humuhumu Member San Francisco Joined: Aug 22, 2002 Posts: 3691	H Humuhumu Posted posted on Mon, Jun 9, 2003 2:51 PM That's what's really weird -- I found it in a little frame shop right down the street from my apartment. I was grabbing a sandwich before heading down to Portland for the opening of Castaway Cove, when I walk right past, and my bamboodar goes off. There it was, sitting in the shop window. $36. On my roadtrip, I picked up a cute little handbag with bamboo handles, but a purse made totally out of bamboo trumps it bigtime. Re: carving -- that's a great idea! I may buy a second one to have someone carve. Does bamboo carve very well, though? I would think that the grain would make it just splinter. If nothing else, maybe I can stain a tiki design in a darker color.

It is Really a nice purse and I don't see anything wrong with a classy paintjob such as Sam Gambino could do with pinstripes. [ Edited by: Benzart on 2004-07-16 15:47 ]

My better half RocknRollGirl will be green with envy if she sees this post! I don't suppose there's any chance you could disclose the location where you purchased that little treasure?

Crp. And here I was, trying to save for a house. But, The Purse of Power, The Hellacious Handbag, The Bodacious Bag, it - it - it calls me. (I won't wear it to events where I know you'll be, Humuhumu, I promise! Unless we wanted to do a photo-shoot with our Trader Vic's pj's avec purses, featuring about half the girls there, if Benzart can satisfy our purse-lust.)
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Sun, Jul 18, 2004 11:45 AM well it looks like I may be able to make a few of these. A Little different they will be but the same basic deal. If I can get more Bamboo since they take 3 sections which is a lot. The first 2 are spoken for and if I can make them and more, they will be waiting at HukiLau. How much are these things worth by the way? I guess I better find out before I make them up. Is it worth it??? [ Edited by: Benzart on 2004-07-18 11:47 ]
