Selected bamboo tubes are dried, treated and joined to form lightweight bicycle frames.

Dinnerware, Air Brake Tanks, Frosted Cereal, Fossils

Clay is formed, glazed and fired to produce matching pieces of dinnerware. Steel sections are shaped, welded and pressure-tested as tanks for vehicle air-brake systems; cooked grain is flaked, toasted and coated with a sweet frosting; and fossils are exposed, stabilized and prepared by removing the surrounding rock.
