BAMBOO
Machine made up and down passes whilst the bamboo was moved randomly by hand. The machine has a side opening so I could move the bamboo from outside the machine. It felt a bit like glass blowing!!!
Detail
Cutting was very smokey and left a sticky resin on the bamboo that had to be sanded off. Not sure if it's good for the lens. This wasn't done with the rotary cutter, rather manually, column by column.
Grid pattern of squares using and underpowered vector cut (as opposed to etching), the random pattern next to it is the same grid pattern but the bamboo was moved randomly around the cutting table as the job was being executed hence the rectilinear nature behind the randomness.
