I'm not sure about bamboo. Specs say it's harder than maple? How does it hold up? Easy to look at?

I think it's QUITE attractive -- I've had it for almost a year and it looks just fine!

I'm not sure how it compares to maple but I love mine. I usually put mine on one side of the stove if I'm only using two burners and chop my food right there on the stove. They still look great.

I do not know without checking if the block is made of bamboo, but upon doing a little reading it says in the description of the item that the block is "hardwood". Whether or not bamboo is a hardwood, and I doubt that it is, is of little consequence to the performance of the knife set. Perhaps you are looking for a more ecologically sustainable housing for the knives, in that case, I guess, bamboo would be a better choice than hardwood.

I'm not wood specialist so I don't know the detail but I know those are the very ones being used in Japan not the twisted bamboo chopstics which is a cheapo chopstic and accidentally I bought them thinking it is from Japan but it is not. This chopstic in the picture is sturdy; you can buy both and compare them, they are cheap enough to buy.

Yes, the holes were small but I wasn't afraid to apply force and nothing got broken. Bamboo is a strong material, so go for it.

It's bamboo. I'm not sure how many plys is has though. It has more flex to it then a normal board though.

I'm not an expert regarding wood but I believe it's 100% bamboo. It's beautifully finished in a natural clear coat. I have had three of them for over a year and they look like new. I had been looking for quite some time for the right tray,with the right compartments, finished in a natural wood. I love it and would replace with the exact same one if it became necessary.

Rubber wood is an asian wood. However it sounds as if it may apply to the chairs as we know rubber to be soft or to flex. I have 4 and they are very sturdy. I would say as strong as oak or maple. I have a large family (both in quantity and weight) I have a few members and friends that top 300lbs and they have no problems with the stools at all. Designed very well for strength.

I can't tell you, but it is a much finer, smoother grain than oak, and lighter and softer than maple. Maybe birch? I can tell you that the item is exactly like the picture.

I imagine maple is better because it is a hard wood. I do finer gunsmithing work on my and have a neoprene pad on top of mine, so it take a lot of the abuse vs. the table top.

I think its solid wood, but its definitely not hard wood. Its not like maple or something like that.

Rebecca, Mine is made entirely of bamboo. It is very well done- no warping or gaps.

Mine has held up pretty well. It doesnt get used everyday but pretty often. Only complaints are its made of pine not a hardwood so it dents/scratches fairly easily but I would buy it again.

This lopper is the best I've ever owned, and I've owned many ( my home is on a heavily wooded lot), but given the hardness of bamboo, I don't know if it can handle it.

I would think so. Mine did great using staples on 3/4 in 3-4 & 5 in cherry and locust (very hard wood). I am not familiar with bamboo but the only problem I see is if it is very soft or very brittle then the MIIIFS may be a little too much tool. Since bamboo is used for flooring I bet you will be just fine! MIIIFS is a great tool!

My preference would be for the lighter beech. I have natural maple and very light oak and they are all in a close family. Good luck

Not sure, i don't think it is bamboo, but I LOVE the brush. I have purchased other, cheaper brushes, which just started to lose bristles and get funky in no time, this brush is so much better and worth the extra money.
