Introduction: Bamboo USB Flash Drive
A 100% Bamboo USB flash drive.
Step 1: Things That You Will Need
-USB Flash Drive (casing removed)
-Bamboo stick, I found mine washed up on a beach
-Craft/Stanley knife
-Super-Glue
Step 2: Measure Around the Pcb and Cut
Measure the width of your Flash Drive PCB and cut, Bamboo splits very easily so remember to cut away from yourself at all time!
Step 3: Ouch
Please be careful
Step 4: Cut Excess Bamboo
Step 5: Measure the Opposite Side
Similar to the previous steps, line up the other panel and cut along the outline of the initial strips
Step 6: Shave Down the Inside
Step 7: Glue the Flash Drive to Both Strips of Bamboo
Step 8: Measure the Side Panels and the Back, Then Glue
Step 9: End Product
Please give me some feedback on possible ideas/alternative methods, hope you have enjoyed it

Nice and rustic.
It would be nice to go for a cleaner effect but rough bamboo is cool too. kind of like hitech meets lowtech.
