What creative way could I use a 6', 5" diameter bamboo pole?

we have made beautiful curtain rods. You can paint or stain the rod. Then make your own holders from metal or wood

You could use it to show off a quilt on your wall.

.....If you arden you Garden you could cut it into descending lengths and use as an ornamental Fence/Sculpture (either Straight or in a and use as Circle Or Suspend and use as a Musical Instrument or Wind Chime.. You could Cut them into narrow rounds (1-1.5") and use them instead of Placemats. Make Mobiles etc. etc.................

Have a party and serve lots of drinks and then use it for the Limbo contest.
