Having fun with primitive skills and making a bamboo bowl

View this post on Hive: Having fun with primitive skills and making a bamboo bowl

---

After making my Bamboo Guampa (Yerba Mate cup), I had one piece of bamboo left and wanted to make something else out of it. I decided to make a rice bowl. Bamboo is such a versatile material that is easy to work with. It can be used for building small containers up to larger structure such as scaffolding or even houses.

I cut this piece of bamboo with a jigsaw to a deep I feel is good for a bowl and then sanded it. The burned effect was obtained by pressing the bamboo against the power sander to increase the friction and heat.

I then scrubbed the inside to remove the flaky layer and there we go, it's ready to be used.

For the first try, I used my bamboo bowl to eat some soup. The bamboo is not totally dry so it still have some nice little smell which adds to the experience. The sound of the spoon hitting the bamboo bowl is much nicer than the sound of it hitting a ceramic bowl. It's fun to eat in with this bowl and because of the better mood it provides, the taste is also improved 😅.

Now my wife wants one too hehehe.

You all know that your Steem password is the access to all your STEEM, SBD, posting, transferring, everything... right?
So, please, follow these simple steps and keep yourself safe:

1. Apart from the initial setup of your account, NEVER use your password ANYWHERE, if stolen, it will give full control to your Steem account.
2. Backup your password and keep it somewhere safe. Use a password manager like Lastpass, print it on paper and put it in a safe (no kidding). If you forget your password, no one can help you out.
