Tips & Tricks:
Do not try using a circle jg to cut bamboo. The fibers grab the blade and make for an uneven cut. Definitely want to use hole saw then come back with a rabbet bit.
Envirotex epoxy – the thicker the coat, the less likely yuo are to get bubbles. Bubbles pop with CO2, not neat, so just blow on them.
Conclusion:
Came out just like I wanted it.
