Have any of you seen these before? They are bamboo nails used to fix a canvas on a stretcher! How sustainable is that?

- DiscussionDoes anyone know what to do with rest of canvas? In this case some of them has Beva from lining and most of the canvas are synthetic. They're also too small for strip-lining. Any thoughts?
- DiscussionHi there! I was wondering if anyone has any tips on alternatives to commercial biocides for cleaning microbial activity on stone. I know that the Vatican is doing a lot of really interesting work with essential oils, but was just wondering if anyone had any other ideas or had any experience with things like copper-based alternatives or microbes. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Thank you for sharing this information. Could you please share about how to fix them or a photo of a fixed one?
I had once a time ( I ‘m working from more 30 years and thousand paintings). It was an italien stretcher from begin of the 18th century, a Virgin. It was so amazing and so beautiful !
I though it was boxwood, but now, with your picture, it was bamboo maybe...
la_restorartrice on Instagram asks: "Is it historical nails or new ones? If it is used for new stretching I'd like to know more about bamboo in general pls"
juliabetancor on Instagram says: "Well, if this post helps, I work as a painting conservator in Spain since more than 25 years and this not usually to find in this south Europe latitude, Maybe others conservators from Portugal, Greece, France or Adriatic Coast can say if bamboo nails used to be popular. First time for me."
