Being mostly hollow, most traditional woodworking techniques don't work. I can think of a couple general approaches: 1) tying like you say, 2) screwing to the nodes (which are the only "solid" part of the bamboo) 3) finding bamboo in compressed dimensional form, like from here calibamboo.com/bamboo-lumber-lumboo.html. I have never worked with that though and have no idea how it performs. | |
