A very short fact today and sure most of you will know this one.
David

Bamboo although often tree like, is actually not a species of tree, it is a species of grass.

Me Too!
Funny you should bring it up tho....

Remember that 'experimental piece of bamboo flooring I found at the Habitat "Re-Store"?

I just trimmed it out and sanded it smooth!!!
Going to 'reduce' Steve's "Chinese Fish" pattern and cut it for a lady friend out of the bamboo...

~~~GB~~~
I never really wanted to grow up....All I wanted was to be able to reach the cookie jar...and play with my DW 788
