    Aloha from the Pacific Northwest! Wanted to share a thrifting score- I found some round bamboo salad plates in the 90% off bin at a thrift shop. Brought them home, sanded down with 320 grit paper, used a light stain to bring out the bamboo, sealed and gifted. Love your ideas; they inspire me to think out of the box! Minute marker 5:30- pun intended! 😄

    Did you gift them as a food item? It doesn't sound like you would be able to use them for food again. Depending on what you used for a stain and a sealer. I guess you could stain it with coffee and then seal it with mineral oil and then it would be food safe.
