Is wicker a hard or soft wood?
Answers:    Bamboo is from the grass nearest and dearest that is why it is so briskly growing and makes a great renewable resource. It is as firm as Maple and 50% more stable and harder than Red Oak. It has a difficult hardness rating than most hardwoods.
All I know is that it hurts when you take hit over the head next to it - it must be hard!!!
