Bamboo Immersion Trip - Day 2

Dumaguete - Tools, originally uploaded by jsigharas.

Other than power tools, these are the most common tools used by workers at Buglas Bamboo. This shows to tell how simple bamboo can be to work with, but as we have observed, demanding of craftsmanship, skill and experience. The larger blade is used to split and flatten bamboo, cutting inner nodes, and making rough cuts. The smaller blade is used for finer carving and working out details and fittings.
