Sustainable Wood?

[harry05]

Bamboo is considered one of the best choices of sustainable wood because it grows so rapidly. It is actually a grass, described as three times more durable than oak. Under perfect conditions, bamboo can grow 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters) a day. Bamboo is ready for harvesting after about three years, compared to hardwoods that become mature in 40 to 120 years, depending on the species.
