This blog aims to focus on the processes involved in making bamboos into a wonderful furniture and how it helps the barangay of Palkan as well as the people living in it. Also this blog was made to inform everybody that bamboo is not just an ordinary grass, but for the people there in Brgy. Palkan it serves as a Swaying Treasure.
Bamboos are among the plants most widely used by humans. It is the largest of the grasses, and has a species of over 1600. It is unique in that it is strong in both tension and compression. While tensile strength remains the same throughout the age of the bamboo plant, compressive strength increases as it gets older.
In the tropics they are used for constructing houses, rafts, bridges, and scaffolding. One good example of this is the project in China which became famous and fortunately won a prize at the Biennale of Venice 2003.
