I'm re-building my bar and want to cover the surface of the front and sides with split bamboo. I probably want somewhere around 1 to 1-1/2 inch diameter bamboo, either pre-split or I'll split it myself. Any recommendations as to who might have the best prices and will ship? (I'm in the middle of nowhere, two or three days from any coastline).

Once I've got the bamboo cut to the right lengths and arranged like I like it, how's the best way to attach it? Since the bar I'm re-working has a very thin plywood surface, I was thinking about building my bamboo panels on another piece of plywood and then attaching them to the bar. So, I can screw into each piece of bamboo from the back if that's a better method of attaching them.
