    [QUESTION] Mold on Bamboo

    Hey Folks! I was offered some bamboo cabinet lumber for free... however, it's been sitting in a basement for "years" and it covered in mold (see photos). From looking at the photos, do you think this wood is salvageable or should I (sadly) just toss it? Thanks for any wisdoms you can share! Ian
