Description
Tonkin bamboo is easy to work with and is available in a number of colors choices. The most common is a beautiful “even” honey appearance throughout the poles, and compared to other bamboo species, has the least amount of variations or scaring. The Natural Black Tonkin bamboo is a dark richer color option, that is more unique than the traditional “golden” color that is most often recognized. Compared to other bamboo, Tonkin is light weight making it ideal for overhead applications. Although available in larger diameters, this species of bamboo is thin walled. Performance of Tonkin is best when used outside of heavy guest contact areas and is widely used for exterior and interior applications.
