Tbh, I made a kitchen counter from farmed bamboo and the old-school carpenters laughed. It's been two years with zero issues.

That bit about the carpenters laughing hits home because it's a common thing where people doubt stuff just cause it's different. I've seen similar reactions to green materials or diy projects that end up lasting years. Sometimes the new approach quietly wins out.

Wait, bamboo held up for two full years as a counter? That's actually wild. Everyone always says you need stone or something super hard. Guess the old way isn't the only way.

Ask how you sealed it. Always wondered if bamboo needs special care against water marks.
