This is an airy work area behind the main body of the shop. Approx. 870 sq.ft., it receives big bamboo on this side from a truck, is sawn on the bamboo saw and then moved through the large door on the opposite side where it enters the boron treatment tank. At other times this is a general work area with several heavy-duty workbenches and storage shelves. Power tools are stored inside behind steel doors after hours.
