First Nations used scales of ponderosa pine or yellow pine trees to make small hot smokeless fires that cooled rapidly so their enemies would not be able to track them.
Bamboo for you
Bamboo for you Using bamboo is an excellent alternative to using
hardwoods for furniture, floors or accessories. Bamboo is hard,
strong and dimensionally stable and does not shrink or grow like
other woods. It grows and regenerates itself extremely quickly and
is maintained with ease and efficiency. And unlike hardwoods,
bamboo can be harvested within 3 to 5 years after planting. Bamboo
is gaining new-found appeal as the environmentally-friendly and
trendy new look.
