Bamboo Shoots make Head Roots

These shaggy hand carved faces are produced from the roots of bamboo plants and they fit perfectly into many of our design philosophies.

They are 'logical', for the roots do look like hair formations.
They were once a wasted by-product following a bamboo harvest
They bring an extra income to those already producing Bamboo
They provide work for an artist alongside a farming business
They are designed with a degree of humour
They are well carved

We are devotees of maximising the potential of crops and skill bases, especially those from Rural Communities. In our own backyard, we have started 'Rural Growth Wales' to promote the start-up of local businesses around local resources. This will hopefully be a template for other communities to follow. Rural communities need your support, Worldwide.
