Bamboo joint

The name, like the 'knuckle' on a stick of bamboo, comes from the strength of the connection. It is normally impossible to cut through it.


Why is bamboo joint good?

  • It is hardly cuttable (but not impossible)
  • It has potential eye shape
  • It can avoid nasty forcing moves and form lump shapes
