Bamboo is as handsome as it is versatile. So it seems only natural that the material should join us at the table in the form of sturdy napkin ringsStart with a 2 inch diameter bamboo pole (available at garden centers) and some hardware stores for a few dollars a piece. Using painter tape, mark off a 2 inch section of the pole,making sure a joint(one of the raised lines along the bamboo) lies in the middle of the sections. Repeat process, taping off one 2 inch section for each napkin ring.
Place the pole in a miter box,and secure with pegs. With a miter saw, cut each section, cutting on side of tape nearest joint.
Remove the crisscrossing fibers inside the joints using a drill fitted with a 1 1/2 inch paddle bit
