what are some products made by bamboo?

Question

Made FROM bamboo. Sorry.

Answer 1

Bamboo forms a very hard wood, especially when seasoned, and is light and exceptionally tough. This makes it useful for many things such as houses (in tropical climates), fences, bridges, toilets, walking sticks, canoes, furniture, chopsticks, food steamers, toys, construction scaffolding, hats, martial arts weaponry, abaci and various musical instruments such as the shakuhachi, palendag, jinghu, and angklung. It is also widely carved for decorative artwork. Modern companies are attempting to popularize bamboo flooring made of bamboo pieces steamed, flattened, glued together, finished, and cut. However, bamboo wood is easily infested by wood-boring insects unless treated with wood preservatives or kept very dry (see carving, right). It has also been used as a substitute for steel reinforcing rods in concrete construction.

When bamboo is harvested for wood, care is needed to select mature stems that are several years old, as first-year stems, although full size, are not fully woody and are not strong.

Culms may be cut and hollowed into vases or drinkware, tubes, or pipes for liquids.

Culms can also serve as pipes. The Bamboo Organ of Las Pinas, Philippines is an example.

Bamboo canes are normally round in cross-section, but square canes can be produced by forcing the new young culms to grow through a tube of square cross-section and slightly smaller than the culm's natural diameter, thereby constricting the growth to the shape of the tube. Every few days the tube is removed and replaced higher up the fast-growing culm.

The fibre of bamboo has been used to make paper in China since early times. A high quality hand-made paper is still produced in small quantities. Coarse bamboo paper is still used to make spirit money in many Chinese communities.

The wood is used for knitting needles and the fibre can be used for yarn and clothing. Sharpened bamboo is also traditionally used to tattoo in Japan, Hawaii and elsewhere.

A variety of bamboo was one of about two dozen plants carried by Polynesian voyagers to provide all their needs settling new islands; in the Hawaiian Islands, among many uses, 'Ohe (bamboo) carried water, made irrigation troughs for taro terraces, was used as a traditional knife for cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn, as a stamp for dyeing bark tapa cloth, and for four hula instruments - nose flute, rattle, stamping pipes and Jew's harp.

Some skateboard deck manufacturers are beginning to use bamboo construction. It is both lighter and stronger than traditional materials and its cultivation is environmentally friendly.

Bamboo is also used caged culture of fish, with cages made of a wooden frame and bamboo lattices.
