Our contemporary servers have a fresh appeal with their distinct colored handles. A standout set on its own, they pair beautifully with any of the bowls in our Square Bowl or Astor Bowl collections. Natural bamboo on one end and organic colored finish on the other gives these servers the best of both worlds. Made of strong, natural bamboo by Core Bamboo"s skilled artisans. All of Core Bamboo"s items are distinctively stylish, ultra durable, and totally organic. The benefits of using bamboo are numerous. For example: As a member of the grass family, not a tree, it grows at a much quicker rate than any other wood. From start to harvest (60-70-feet tall) it can take just four years. Bamboo is also one of the strongest yet lightest materials around. Bamboo is 16-percent stronger than Maple and is 33-percent lighter in weight than Oak. Most importantly, it holds the promise of a sustainable, cost effective, and ecologically responsible alternative to the widespread clear cutting of our old growth forests. Bamboo is good for you and good for the environment. Clean with warm soapy water or a damp cloth.
