Ha! My 13-year-old twins and I were out in a bamboo grove last night, gathering the king studs for the four corners and rafters. I only realized this morning that I missed a prime photo op of my son, who was hacking at the "jungle" with a machete about as long as he is tall.

Does anyone have an opinion about whether I should attempt to build with this fresh stuff versus buying already cured? The treehouse is in constant shade and I wonder if I'll be able to cut / notch the green poles with less splitting than when if I used pre-cured material.

The window bamboo is already purchased and is already cured, of course.
