Looking for a nice sized piece. Maybe 1/2 an inch in diameter.

Send me a note if you do.

Thanks

I'm doing OK at the moment. But you ought to dig some up to see if its useful. The part you use on pipes is actually the roots.

Everytime I come on here I learn something new!
I have a grove of Bamboo but thought it wasn't the right kind because the knots are too far apart. Now I find that I've got to dig some root up?
Great News!

Now if I can find out how to cure it after I dig it up and how to tell if it's usable then I'll be all set.

Nick,

I've got some bamboo that would meet the diameter you requested.
