bamboo desk.png A faux bamboo desk. The original was made in England in about 1950. I've done most of the hard stuff, and I'm learning to dislike bamboo—real or faux. Enjoy. dh

"...and I'm learning to dislike bamboo—real or faux."  this sentence is as beautiful as your work (although I don't like bamboo either  )

The thing about modeling bamboo is that it feels so good when you stop. Thanks for the good words, HornoOxx.

bamboo desk complete.png Here's the (almost) finished piece. I have to add the drawers. Which I may or may not do. I've already invested more time than I should have on this model. Enjoy. dh

Thanks, Robert, but I'm not a Blender guy. Modeling bamboo in SketchUp is easier than learning Blender, at least for me. Best, dh
