Part 2 of our ‘Source of Things’ project, this video shows one stage of splitting the bamboo culm from a different angle. There are several steps to producing our bamboo products whether it is bamboo cutting boards, or our certified organic bamboo utensils, or our single-use Veneerware® plates. Some of these steps are common, and some steps are unique to the final product. In this sequence we see the traditional method of splitting the bamboo culm. This semi-automated process used to be done with a handheld cutter.
This is a fairly common machine to split the whole bamboo culms. The blade cuts the bamboo culm into eight (8) sections. This replaces the handheld cutter. https://bambuhome.com
