That is absolutely gorgeous, Mike. Great design chops somewhere in the
family. ;)

Looks nice, I recently saw some strip flooring made of
bamboo and got some scraps, done a little non scientific
destructive testing on a piece, stuff seems almost indestructible.

Great application for the material and looks nicely done. A Poly finish wou=
ld have been a bit more durable but the Lac is very repairable. I would pre=
dict a scuff and recoat every few years but easily done.

BTW, you may recall I was asking about options for finish/top coat.
All I did was use Deft Satin Spray Lacquer in the can.
It darkened the bamboo just slightly, exactly the way we wanted.
Couldn't have been easier... or cheaper.

Thank you, and I agree.
I fell in love with the stuff the first time I saw it and it didn't let
me down.

I know I've given credit to the wife many times, but this sink and
cabinet were actually my ideas. She does soooooo much better
than me with colors and tile and picking things that go together.

Steet! That looks great! I seriously doubt any other material would
have looked so good.
