Core material
Popular hardwood trees typically take half a century to grow to maturity, whereas bamboo stems reach their full height in about 2 years and mature hardness in about 4 years. Consider also that harvesting of a mature hardwood tree invariably kills the tree. In contrast, a bamboo plant consists of many individual stems, and harvesting of some of the stems does not kill the plant. Other stems grow from the base of the plant to replace the harvested stems. This makes bamboo ideally suited to sustainable utilization, and means that bamboo is a far more environmentally friendly choice of material than other types of hard wood.
Core Material treatment
Blend of plant oils for the waterproof treatment of wooden working surfaces.
Ingredients
Linseed oil, plant oils, essential oils, lead-free driers.
For reasons of environmental safeness and ease of restoration wooden working surfaces should not be
“sealed”. Even though the hardness and durability of two component synthetic coatings can not be
achieved with natural coatings, synthetic coatings are also not entirely safe from water marks or scratching
and can only be repaired by complete removal and recoating.
Organic natural coating used in BambooWAN have the added advantage not to contain any ingredients, which
could cause harmful emissions, like formaldehyde or aromatic solvents, which are known to be a health
hazard.
