I have a lot of bamboo canes that comes from my garden, i had to cut them down over two years and they are super dry now.
Usualy we use them as supports for plants but today I had the idea to dress 2 pens with it.
What do you all think about it ?

2 Omega's dressed with bamboo, finished with melamine lacquer and carnauba stick.

Very nice, who knew that such a finish could be achieved with bamboo. An eye opener, well done.

I like your pens far more than cross cut cane or bamboo. For originality ,presentation it has a wow factor for me Clement.
