Lucky2 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Looks nice, how do you find bamboo to cut? Is it hard on blades, and how well does it take a finish? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Looks nice, how do you find bamboo to cut? Is it hard on blades, and how well does it take a finish? Len Len the bamboo is from a box of 10mm flooring that a neighbor gave me after she got done redoing her kitchen floor. Cutting bamboo is hard on blades luckily this particular pattern is not too rough on the blade. I cut one of those intersecting word art signs a little while back and had to use several blades to do it. They dull fairly fast. As for taking a finish, no problem if you seal the bamboo first. I generally use tung oil to seal then top coat. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Great job Also thanks for the info on the bamboo, never worked with but have some for a smaller project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonacker Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'd like to hear some opinions about this. I don't know about using polyurethane finish on items that come in contact with food. When I made something like this, I used salad bowl finish which is non toxic. General Finishes has one for this specific purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I made something like this, I used salad bowl finish which is non toxic. General Finishes has one for this specific purpose. Almost all modern finishes are human safe after they have cured. You can put butcher block oil on it or tung oil or BLO or even just wax it the choice is yours of course. You could even use a bees wax with mineral oil finish.

bonacker Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 OK. Thanks DW for the info. It's a good looking piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
