When Wood of the Month first featured bamboo, we acknowledged the obvious-bamboo is not a wood, but rather a member of the grass family. We bent the rules a little then because bamboo has a wide range of wood-like uses. Now, we are taking another took at bamboo and the unique directions manufacturers and designers are taking it.
