  • Has anybody stained one of those bamboo cutting boards (as in: on purpose, with dark wood stain, to make it look more like "dark wood")?

    For what it's worth it won't be used for cutting food, it will only serve as a (then wall-mounted) base for a turntable, and I want it to look less than a cutting board and want it to blend in more with other dark-wood-coloured things in the room..

    Somehow I got a hunch the bamboo won't take the wood stain nicely / evenly, but happy to be told otherwise 🙂

  • It's very dense, so I think you might be onto something.

    I found finding stains quite tricky. In case you don't already know this you need to do some surface prep - ideally sanding back with a medium grit to raise the grain, then clean with a solvent, then stain, wipe, stain, etc.
