Thanks gentlemen. I have a robust bamboo grove with 20 - 40, 2+ inch canes that die each year. I have built 8' garden fences, myriad trestles, gates, and even wind chimes. I was just looking for another way to use this yearly surplus. The idea of blending them with some of my ample windfall sounds like a good direction. I will build one this autumn once this Ozarks heat has subsided a bit. I appreciate the input.
