Looks great! You're lucky to have free bamboo to work with! I'm sure some more crafty ideas will come along for its use as well. If it dries to brown relatively fast I'd be cutting a bunch for trim work, tiki lights, shelving, just about anything 3/4" would be good for. And that bar rocks!

Thanks everybody

I was going to cut some extra and look for ways to use it. I was thinking lighting but will have to look for some designs I like and could actually make, some look way past what I could do. I like the shelf idea, behind the bar would work well, good idea.

What is missing from this clump is about 2/3 of what is in the roof. I wanted to cut the rest of that clump so it will grow back like it should so I will just cut and let the rest dry. I would think I should tie them up so they will dry straight ?

Average size is 3/4" with many 1", this clump is about 25' tall. All the other bamboo I have is 3/4" at the most.
