About Bamboo

Bamboo is one of the world's fastest, renewable plants with a maturity cycle of only 3-4 years, making it an environmentally friendly natural resource.

Bamboo is actually a grass and 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.

Bamboo is 16% harder than maple wood and 1/3 lighter in weight than oak. In fact, Bamboo is harder than several woods, including maple, oak, beech, walnut, cherry, and pine. Bamboo holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clearcutting of our old growth forests. Unlike most other hardwoods, it absorbs very little moisture and consequently does not shrink or swell as much making it a superior choice of material for cutting boards.
