That's the stuff. I didn't know the finish was going to be that much

I've had good luck with 'fire' in the sense that application of a blowtorch

How resistant is bamboo to resawing?

The bamboo I've seen is three plies, glued together. I wouldn't
resaw it. The splinters were a big problem for me, too..
