Utility

Used for art and structure.

Manufacturing

Treating bure for long lasting use is usual done before anything is constructed and involves soaking the plant in a liquid mixture that cures it and makes it last for a good number of years. The longer it is soaked the better, though sometimes applying a finish, and reapplying over time, can extend the life of the item as well. Some buildings, if treated and up-kept properly, can last hundreds of years.

Complexity

While the tools needed are very simple, the processes can become very complex, depending on the skill of the craftsmen and the desire of the customer.
