Well I thought I was set on my ceiling plan, but as I got to looking at it. I'm at a cross roads of sorts.

This was the original intent:

IMAGE FROM MARKMYWORDS

I still love this BUT....I'm confused on how to attach the smaller bamboo to the larger bamboo? Do you drill a hole in the bigger bamboo and slide it in or is it glued and lashed?

So after doing some drooling, I mean research on other builds. I found these....

I know this is REVBAMBOOBEN's handiwork!!!

I don't remember where I copied this from...whoever I owe you proper credit!!!!

So these 2 ceilings have literally put me upside down in my thinking....

The smaller bamboo is secured to the ceiling and the bigger stuff is lashed below...a much easier install (at least in my pea brain, maybe not in reality).

I don't have a real preference because both will work to hang my fishnet and lamps and such but I do think that the bigger bamboo on top works a bit better for my situation with hiding all of the joints and such.

Can anyone give me some insight on how to do what MARKMYWORDS did with that smaller bamboo attached to the larger?
