cleaving bamboo to 0.1mm
Just wanted to share a great link to a video of a wonderful old Japanese craftsman cleaving bamboo down to 0.1mm. Having spent many hours sat beside my friend Owen Jones the swill basket maker I am pretty faniliar with this sort of cleaving but not to this fine a finish.

Thanks to potter and fellow Japanese craft fan Pat Southwood for this one.
