Ever wondered how bamboo is turned into flat, workable strips? A blowtorch first dries out the moisture, then precise grooves are carved inside to break the fibers. This essential process releases internal stress, making it easier to flatten the bamboo. These strips then become the raw material for countless bamboo crafts! #bamboocraft #traditionaltechniques #sustainablematerials
