These all purpose bamboo garden stakes / craft sticks are perfect for all types of projects! Great for added accents to floral arrangements, supporting prize winning orchids, or just mucking about in the garden building towers. These all natural pieces of bamboo were harvested from our chemical and pesticide free groves, then hand crafted in America for superior durability and look.

In addition to hand selecting cured bamboo that is thick walled and able to meet our requirements, our bamboo is cut by hand with the tips cut at a slight angle adjacent to a node, and the top is cut very close to a node. Bamboo gets it's legendary strength from it's nodes, thicker walled portions that contain a woody membrane, in an otherwise hollow tube. The further away from a node bamboo is cut, the more likely it is to weaken and split, as well as harbor water and insects. The flush cut on top helps reduce water damage, significantly increases longevity, and allows for some gentle persuasion with a mallet! This takes time as some pieces of bamboo might not have any sections at all that have nodes on both ends falling within the length parameters. The packs of bamboo stakes at the big box are not heat treated, likely chemically treated and are assembly line cut to size, leaving open ends that harbor rot and insects, significantly reducing the lifespan of your stakes.

Our heat treatment process involves heating every inch with an open flame using various artistic techniques, then giving each piece a bit of hand burnishing with a cloth and some of our Conditioner and Restorer. This drives out the moisture and starches that attract insect damage, and pulls a layer of natural protective oils to the surface, which when burnished harden into a sort of protective shell. In addition to increasing the durability and longevity of these bamboo stakes, this important step also gives then a depth and richness that is visually appealing and adds to the beauty of the garden!

This listing is for one (1) dozen all natural garden stake craft sticks measuring roughly 36 inches in length, give or take an inch. They range in diameter from roughly 1/4 inch to 3/4 inch, and I try to include a range of diameters and designs in each dozen. They will look similar to, but not exactly like those pictured.

Well crafted and long lasting, humbly hand made in America, bringing form and function together with these superior bamboo garden stakes!
