Hand crafted ironwork creates organic, natural looking plant life from steel. Machine made steel Bamboo by contrast looks dead and each copy is exactly the same. The eye picks up on this and the brain is not so engaged without the subtle variations found in nature that create intrigue and a perception of beauty in the brain. Bamboo can be with or without leaves. Put a frame around it, slap some hinges and a slide bolt on – call it a gate. Weld 3 panels together to make a trifold screen. How about a group of 5 trees for a standing coat/hat rack? Sticks can be welded together to make an indoor lighting trellis with integrated tea light holders, LED options discussed. Class collaborates to create bamboo.
