Hi Patricia,

Here's an idea using what looks like newer bamboo, but I don't see any reason why you can't do it with old bamboo. I hope this helps with your research for your project. Wishing you the best.

My experience has been is that old bamboo is very hard to cut and drill and that it is prone to splitting when trying to do those things to it.

Make sure the saws are sharp as well as the drill bits for pilot holes.

Hello Patricia,

Find a container you can face them up with. Cut to size and either Stick them with a glue gun or wire them up together (like in a fence) and secure with Wire, Twine, nail or screws.
