Materials used: Bamboos and tools

A large number of species of bamboo are available, Assam alone has about 51 species in its kitty. Hence, specific ones are picked for specific uses. Generally, the commercial species include: Muli (Malocanna Bambusoides), Hill Jati (Oxytenanthera Parvifola), Kako (Dendrocalamus Hamiltoni) and Dalu (Teinostachyum Dalloa) amongst others.
As far as tools are concerned, there are no mechanical equipments which are employed in bamboo crafts. While the weaving and knitting is generally done by hands, very simple tools are used. Tools called ‘dao’ (bill-hook), a knife and a ‘jak’ (‘v’ shaped wooden frame) are essentially used.
In case of the popular bamboo umbrella handles, some more hand tools are employed for manufacturing. ‘Bakai kol’ (bending frame), ‘narum’ (sharp and pointed carving blade), files, saws, knives, blowpipes, tongs, oven, etc. are the common tools and implements used for the craft.

Popular Products

Generally the products of bamboo can be classified broadly in two categories: articles required for daily use for local requirements (of medium quality); and articles for both decorative and functional, to meet the requirements and tastes of more sophisticated markets and of a finer quality.
Items like baskets of various sizes and shapes, Chalani, Crossbows, Kula, Khorahi, Dukula or Tukuri, Dala Dukula or Tali, Doon or Kathi, Bamboo Mats, sital pati, winnowing trays, sieves, japi or chatta, various types of fishing implements etc. are popularly produced. Dolls, toys and jewellery are other items made extensively out of bamboo.
Amaldagi materiallar: Bambuklar va asboblar
Bambuk turlarining ko'pligi mavjud bo'lib, Assam o'z pesidasida 51 turga ega. Shuning uchun muayyan shaxslar aniq maqsadlar uchun foydalaniladi. Odatda, savdo turlari quyidagilardir: Muli (Malocanna Bambusoides), Hill Jati (Oxytenanthera Parvifola), Kako (Dendrocalamus Hamiltoni) va Dalu (Teinostachiy Dalloa).
Asbob-uskunalarga qaraganda, bambukdan ishlov berishda ishlatiladigan mexanik uskunalar yo'q. To'quv va trikotaj odatda qo'llar bilan amalga oshirilsa-da, juda oddiy vositalar ishlatiladi. "Dao" (bill-kanca), pichoq va "jak" ("v" shaklidagi yog'och ramkalar) deb nomlangan asboblar asosan ishlatiladi.
Mashhur bambuk soyabon qo'llari bo'lsa, ishlab chiqarish uchun yana bir necha qo'l asboblari ishlatiladi. "Bakai qo'l", "narum" (o'tkir va siqilgan o'yma pichog'i), fayllar, arra, pichoq, koptok, kostyumlar, pechka va boshqalar - hunarmandchilikda qo'llaniladigan umumiy asbob-uskunalar.
Ommabop mahsulotlar
Odatda bambuk mahsuloti ikkita toifaga bo'linadi: mahalliy ehtiyojlar uchun (o'rtacha sifat uchun) kundalik foydalanish uchun zarur bo'lgan mahsulotlar; dekorativ va funktsional buyumlar, yanada murakkab bozorlarning talablari va tatlariga va sifatini yanada oshirishga qaratilgan.
