Hey everyone, I've got a bamboo questions. I'm about to use half poles as wall trim and chair rails (indoors). I'm worried about splitting. A few of my poles have just cracked and split sitting on my basement floor (I heard them crack!).

I've read changes in humidity can cause cracks, and that sealing the bamboo helps.

Would you agree sealing is a good idea, and if so, what sealant would you recommend?
