selkirk Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I just cut a whole shit load of bamboo that was growing through my fence and haven't tossed it yet. Some seemingly good pieces up to 7+ ft of all diameters. Seems like there should be some use for it beside going into the yard waste bin, so let's here the ideas Quote
Toast Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Um, sell it? If you're not that greedy, I'll take half a dozen good sized poles for my garden. Quote
AlpineK Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 In a lot of Asian countries they make some burly scaffolding out of bamboo Quote
No. 13 Baby Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Dick Cheney and his gang use a lot of bamboo for "handling detainees" but I'm pretty sure Halliburton is the exclusive government supplier. Quote

RogerJ Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I own a Bamboo Bike. It rides stupendously. I used to fly fish with a Bamboo rod. There was a fellow in town who had the whole heat treating setup and could take raw bamboo, cure, shape etc and create these amazing rods. -r Quote

ken4ord Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Hell yeah, that is good use for it. Over here most people use the larger pieces for fencing or furniture. Small thin pieces are used for brochette's (shikabob). A friend of mine that had a house on Lake Kivu would use babmboo for the main mast on a makeshift sail boat. We always kept some on hand because inevitably we would break the mast when the winds were good. Quote
archenemy Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 The zoo in the Greenlake/Fremont area will take it if it hasn't been sprayed with chemicals. Your donation will feed cute little animals in cages. Quote
AlpineK Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 We used to give chunks of street trees that were removed to the zoo for the elephants to play with. Quote
