By Request: Bamboo

April 2nd, 2008

The countertop for our master bathroom is actually fabricated from a slab of bamboo that we bought from Indigo, a green home supply store in Gainesville.

I promise to have an updated picture of the whole arrangement soon.

It came unfinished so I brushed on two coats of Waterlox Marine Finish. I expect it to be relatively long-lasting, though probably not as durable as the Caesarstone we chose for our kitchen.

Basically it’s just like how you would handle a butcher block countertop with an undermount sink. Bamboo is naturally more resistant to water compared to other woods (though bamboo is actually a grass)…

Check back for more updates after our Big Move this weekend!
