Thus, the cane handicrafts products guarantee great durability. Flexibility in the bamboo fibers prevents cane from breaking due to temperature fluctuations and increases the longevity of cane products. The artisans also benefit due to this flexibility. They can twist and bend the fibers without fearing any damage to handcraft exquisite designs for the exclusive products. The cane or bamboo products also remain intact in any climatic condition due to their resistance to the vagaries of climate. This feature also increases the longevity of cane products.
