omg forgot to mention.. yesterday I almost legit killed myself.
I was cutting bamboo with my miter saw, for bamboo vases.. so I had this bright idea to try and cut one at an angle, bevel-ish cut etc. So I angle it and go to saw into it, and BOOM.. the miter saw/bamboo torque-exploded, bamboo shot like a bullet, as well as several pieces of the miter saw (just blew off).
fucking insane.. lucky af.
coulda torn right through my leg. god damn.
this is an example of a bamboo vase/"arrangement" i made from it:
