Carving a container from Bamboo

This is another really simple and rewarding project. Carving a container from Bamboo is well suited for kids and beginners, too.  

The containers are well suited e.g. for coffee, but can also provide a base for other projects.  

Bamboo is hollow, with intersections at the knots.  If you saw off a section like that in the picture above, you are already halfway done.  

You can remove the bark or leave it on for further decorations (see below). 

Take a common natural wine cork and whittle it to fit in small and steady cuts. 

The bark, by the way, is pretty tough. 

Just like that, you got a functional container.  Now you can decorate it.  

 I also have a video on YouTube about the process:
