Once the fruit has been harvested from the tree the stem can be made into rope. Banana Leaf, also called Deboo, is rolled and dried then plaited or twirled to create a sturdy rope in various thicknesses. The rope is then generally woven over a wooden furniture frame. Banana leaf furniture can be found in three natural earthy colors beige, coffee or a mixture of both. A sealer or stain may also be applied, not only adding color but also a degree of protection.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-78347919530740232282008-06-15T21:46:00.000-07:002008-06-15T21:46:00.000-07:00Hehe, now I have everyone wondering how a chair ca...Hehe, now I have everyone wondering how a chair can be fashioned from banana leaves!! <BR/><BR/>Well, the banana leaves are twisted into thin strips and handwoven into rustic looking furniture or baskets. The end product looks quite similar to stuff made using wicker or rattan.Blur Tinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792543153416871887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187131513409862167.post-52050403619445588562008-06-15T21:32:00.000-07:002008-06-15T21:32:00.000-07:00Hhmmm... now I hope the dryer can dry your banana ...Hhmmm... now I hope the dryer can dry your banana leaf :)<BR/><BR/>Have you got the dryer yet?
