Appearance of Bamboo:
Highly attractive, exotic and inviting, the beauty of bamboo is one of its most enduring qualities. Southern Elegance environmentally friendly bamboo furniture is available in two natural colors and two orientations. We can also offer an organic Tung oil finish, a variety of stains and paints for our Amish handcrafted bamboo furniture. Samples are available upon request for our bamboo furniture.
Bamboo Natural Colors:
With Southern Elegance Bamboo Amish furniture there are two standard natural bamboo colors to choose from: natural (light) and carbonized (caramel color).
The natural color reflects the organic, natural shade of the bamboo. When bamboo is heated, the carbonized grains take on a color that is darker throughout. This is not a stain, but rather the result of the heating process. The resulting color is an amber, caramel hue.
Carbonized bamboo is slightly softer than natural bamboo. Because bamboo is a natural fiber, color variations exist from crop to crop. These variations are a little more noticeable in carbonized bamboo than in natural bamboo. These are the same type of variations that you would see in hardwoods such as oak wood or cherry wood. It should be noted that carbonized bamboo is carbonized all the way through, not just at the surface level like a stained piece of furniture. Whether natural or carbonized color, bamboo makes a gorgeous choice for building our Amish furniture!
Orientation:
Southern Elegance Amish handcrafted Bamboo furniture is available in both a vertical grain as well as a horizontal (face) grain. In the vertical grain, the individual nodes are hard to discern. In the horizontal grain, each individual node is visible with about four node strands apparent per 3 1/2 inch piece of molding. Horizontal grain therefore shows more of the natural grain of bamboo, including a more noticeable display of the rings. Both bamboo grains offer the same strength characteristics.
Southern Elegance Bamboo furniture is becoming highly appreciated by customers because of its understated elegance, special appearance and unique coloring.
Finish:
We offer a variety of stains and paints to our customers however our finish of choice is our rich, organic, all natural Tung oil finish. OUR environmentally friendly, hand rubbed Tung Oil finish is the result of our passion for respecting and preserving the wonderful creation that has been given us. Our hand rubbed Tung Oil finish is also 100% Organic and is a truly “Green” product!
The eco-friendly Tung Oil finish is the perfect choice for someone that is very sensitive to fumes that result from staining and varnishing. Tung Oil comes from the nuts of the Tung tree. It has been used for centuries by the Chinese to protect furniture and we are excited to be carrying it now on some of our collections of Amish furniture. In comparison to Linseed Oil, Tung Oil cures without the need for much drying and does not darken the bamboo or wood as much. It also provides better scratch resistance and water resistance as long as two or more coats are applied.
A hand rubbed Tung Oil finish enhances the natural color and warmth of bamboo. Once or twice a year you may need to re-oil the bamboo. Tung Oil is easy to apply and to repair. Light scratches and scuffs can be repaired by simply recoating the affected area with more oil.
Tung Oil has been acknowledged for centuries as the premium of oil finishes. It will not yellow as Linseed Oil finishes does. Tung Oil is revered by our Amish craftsmen for its warm, natural look. It has been a favorite choice among sailors and boatmen for centuries for use on wooden boats to repel water and preserve the wood. Marco Polo is credited with introducing Tung Oil to the west.
