Bamboo The one wood I do import from afar is Bamboo, although you can get it in the UK it's very expensive I made my office from bamboo tubes and strand woven Bamboo for the floor and desk. However, Bamboo farming is increasing and if demand remains more local Bamboo will become available.

Bamboo I use both the wood and the fibre from Bamboo and as a fabric is' lovely to work with. However, you need to be sure that the bamboo products you buy are not chemically enhanced as this renders Also, Bamboo is best suited to temperate regions, thus getting imported has an impact on the environment
