Furniture makers and designers may soon be able to take advantage of promising color patterns created from thermally modified (TM) and hot oil-treated (HOT) bamboo.

The DOST-Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) and the Rizal-based Focolare Carpentry recently developed several furniture models made from TM and HOT kauayan-tinik and giant bamboo. The prototypes included a dining set, TV stand with drawers, console table, construction items (stair tread and riser), and small handicrafts like tablet & cell phone stand with sound amplifier.
