Re: Bamboo Tabletop

Simple glued butt joints with screws for the frame. For the bamboo flooring / tabletop, stickwell glue lang. 🙂

Re: Bamboo Tabletop

Second the comment of rosy re waterproofing. I had some bamboo flooring that got wet and all the strips came apart. Apparently the glue and coating is not waterproof.

The thinner bamboo panels (4 mm) are even worse. They delaminate over time even without water exposure. Can't stand by itself for long. Needs to be glued to something to stay together.

Re: Bamboo Tabletop

Galing! I always wondered how bamboo would like as a table top material. This one turned out great. Hat's off to you brader!
