an oak chair would take forever I wonder if this could be done with bamboo. Can you graft bamboo? Maybe join it by weaving or twisting

  Your comment made me think of those helix-shaped bamboos from IKEA. While this is of course on a whole different level, it does suggest some kind of shaping is possible for bamboo as well. And it wouldn't take decades...

    Probably rattan, not bamboo.

      See my other comment - it's neither bamboo nor rattan, but a kind of asparagus.

        Ah, I was thinking of the rattan chairs, some of which are woven into patterns although I don't see any helices.

    "Lucky bamboo" is actually a lily.

      Akshually, it's an asparagus - dracaena sanderiana (or, usually erroneously, - braunii). Thanks for inspiring me to look it up! I'm gonna have so much fun at the next party :D
