Bamboo as material properties.2



Dendrocalamus asper whose stalk consists of a hollow tube with an external diameter of 1.5 centimetres and overall diameter of twenty centimetres with intervals of forty to sixty centimetres between the nodes is capable of growing up to twenty to thirty meters. Gigantochloa apus that has a longer gap between the nodes, a larger diameter and is more elastic has straighter poles and is easier to split which makes it suitable for making furniture.
