Love the hat trick on the bottom of this light.
Before people start going "I got one of those lights and mine is made of bamboo"
Your right the old ones are made of bamboo but I think they had good fresh just cut
bamboo, not the old stuff we get here in the states.
Sooo that bamboo would flex more.
But if you use rattan it will flex more and be better for this hat makin project.
That's why I said rattan.
Guess I shoulda told you how to get more of a slope for the rattan sides.
Nice light.

Old Kahiki hat outa bamboo.

New hat made outa rattan made with a method of mine. (I think that Franks cane and rush has photos of how I did it on their website Still)
