Bamboo is a beautiful grass that grows to a harvestable height and width between 3 – 5 years. Some species grow up to 2 feet per day. After harvesting, bamboo does not require replanting, it has an extensive root system that continually sends up new shoots, naturally replenishing itself, making it one of the most renewable resources known.
It is an ecologically renewable alternative to hard woods, and is 16% harder than maple wood, and 1/3 lighter in weight than oak. It can also be as strong as steel.
Bamboo holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear-cutting of our old growth forests. Why not begin with a bamboo cutting board, who knows, maybe one day you’ll build a beautiful bamboo house! Because bamboo is so hard and dense, it absorbs very little, making it a very sanitary kitchen cutting board. We like to take our kitchen bamboo board with us when ever we travel. That way we can have a little counter top/table no mater where we are!
Season/seal your Bamboo Cutting Board with Organic Flax Seed Oil or Hemp Seed Oil.
