I choose to nail it. The stealth technique is to use a small countersink drill bit and drill your nail holes along each "joint" in the bamboo. The next trick is to buy colored nails to blend with the color of the bamboo. I used this technique on my black bamboo installation with excellent results. See below. Keep in mind that these pics were snapped about 4 inches from the object. When you stand back about 2 feet, they almost dissappear
