About Totally Bamboo Tom Sullivan and Joanne Chen developed a love for renewable, ecologically friendly bamboo while building lightweight, customized directors chairs for the movie industry. Realizing that bamboo would lend itself to plenty of other products, Sullivan and Chen started experimenting with designing houseware products and eventually they came up with the world"s first bamboo cutting board. Soon thereafter, they created Totally Bamboo, the premiere manufacturer for bamboo houseware products. Harder than maple and featuring a beautiful natural color and grain, bamboo is a member of the grass family, and continually sends up new shoots to replenish itself. This makes it one of the most renewable resources on the planet - and a perfect choice for creating home products. Totally Bamboo is dedicated to changing the way the world uses bamboo and making it a leading alternative to hard woods. * Durable bamboo construction * Strong; harder than maple * Natural coloring; no dyes or stains * Rapidly renewable, eco-friendly material * Hand-wash only * 4.75 diam. x 5H inches
