(San Marcos, California) - In recent years, the uniqueness and beauty of bamboo cutting boards have prompted many consumers to take notice and bring them into their kitchens. But now a new development in the Totally Bamboo line is "shaping up" to raise that interest to an even higher level of innovation. Totally Bamboo's Tropical Series Cutting & Serving Boards sport a creative, fun tropical in-lay design on shapes like surf boards, pineapples and Ukuleles.  These fanciful designs are great for parties or everyday use. Bamboo products in the Totally Bamboo line are not only beautiful, they are durable and long-lasting as well. Bamboo is a renewable resource and is harder than traditional hardwoods. Designed with earth friendly living in mind, the Tropical series of cutting boards are made from organically cultivated bamboo and is free from formaldehyde adhesives, dyes or stains. Prices for the Tropical line range from $12.99 - $24.99 for these unique boards and are available at www.totallybamboo.com Media/PR Contact: Todd Brabender/Spread The News PR - (785) 842-8909  todd@spreadthenewspr.com
