How do you cut and dry bamboo so that it doesn’t crack. What is the best way to cut it and put holes in it.


Want to make wind chimes and don’t want them to crack. Should we treat the bamboo with any wood preservative?

Use masking tape around the area where you are going to make your cuts, or do any drilling, this will help alot to keep the wood from cracking. Also use a blade with more teeth, I use a Freud 80t on my compound mitre.

Bamboo Wind Chimes that help save the Orangutans

I made this video for my special friend Natali. She loves Orangutans and has posted blogs to help save them. You can buy these wind chimes at:
http://www.whimsicalwinds.com/ccp0-prodshow/WS30457.html
A percentage of profits from the purchase of this windchime goes directly to the Sumatran Orangutan Society (SOS), making awareness campaigns and education programs possible. SOS is dedicated to the conservation and welfare of Sumatran Orangutans and their habitat. Orangutans are found only in isolated pockets of forest on the island of Sumatra and Borneo. Both species are on the brink of extinction, with Sumatran Orangutans being critically endangered (only 7300 remain in the world). Thanks Natali for all your great blogs. ♥

Be Thou Now Persuaded: Living in a Shakespearean World

Be Thou Now Persuaded: Living in a Shakespearean World
It’s more or less accepted that Shakespeare is the greatest writer in English, but this large box set shows he was a really a musician of language.. The speeches and scenes spread over the course of 6 CDs, carefully arranged to cover themes of love, wonder, humanity and death, play like brief symphonic passages. Indeed, in the hands of actors like Richard Burton, Brian Murray, Vanessa Redgrave and Orson Welles, the material truly sings. While some may find the editing a bit choppy, slicing passages to their best known parts, the goal is clearly to celebrate the wisdom and art of the Bard. While the context of some of the passages may be a bit foggy to a first-time listener, the final two disc offer an entire performance of Romeo and Juliet with Claire Bloom and Albert Finney.
