"Bamboo is "green gold" of the future, with 60,000 species throughout the world, and literally millions of uses. No other plant seems to have as many possibilities; it is used for food, construction material, fuel, flooring, decoration, furniture, and more. Today, bamboo is charging into the western mainstream, and exploding in popularity.
How to Build with Bamboo includes step-by-step illustrations on building your own bamboo items, with 20 unique projects, including a plant holder, picture frame, porch swing, candle holder, privacy panel, lampshade, luggage rack, and much more!
With a section on the history, philosophy, and environmental advantages of bamboo, plus tips on finding bamboo locally and growing your own, How to Build with Bamboo is an incredible resource on a major modern renewable resource.
Joseph Scheer has been designing, producing, and marketing his bamboo creations for almost twenty years. With a thorough background in science, he has been a teacher, researcher, technician, and inventor, as well as a builder, contractor, sailor, and artist. He has built, furnished, and now markets a bamboo-appointed vacation home in Rincon, Puerto Rico."
