Is there anything you can’t do with Bamboo?
When I was in the Boy Scouts in the Philippines as a kid, we learned how to cook rice in bamboo. We also learned how to completely blow up and demolish a campfire by throwing a section of bamboo into it!
We were “unlearned” of that fun thing by our Scoutmaster...:)
Considering all the complaints about bamboo cutting boards falling apart, it’s probably not a good idea to use them for anything structual that might collapse on people.
