These are great gifts, I like to make them, I like to go to somebody’s house who still have them for many years before. In some way, I like the idea that it is a piece of me in other people’s lives.
They are made with 3mm bamboo sheets, which har more and more difficult to source. These ones are caramel colour.
I usually use 3 layers or 3mm bamboo, laser cut, then glued in place.
Then a fair amount of sanding, polishing to get to the nice sheen and touch feeling that the final product gives.
I like the texture and the feeling you get when you touch these when they are finished.
I was inspired by a first design discovered on Pinterest and decided to make a few variations, I still have a few more ideas of variations to make but need to find a reliable source of bamboo sheets.
