Wood Burned Tiki Wind Chimes
Bamboo is a great media for wood burning! Use well dried, two year old or old sections. Wash the bamboo section with soap and water, then use a sharp utility knife to scrap away the outer layer of the bamboo.
Measure and mark your length, allowing at least one-half inch above the node. The node area closes the bamboo section to create the sound chamber and it is an easy area for your hanging accessories.
Cut your bamboo piece into the desired lengths with a fine toothed saw. Lightly sand the entire piece with 220-, then 320-grit sandpaper. You are ready to trace your pattern using graphite paper and to have fun wood burning the design. Add your wind chime elements.
Bamboo does not need a sealer or finishing coat, so once you have your chimes or bell knocker installed your project is ready to hand.
