bamboo poles, bamboo canes, bamboo sticks, bamboo stakes: whatever you call them i got them
- all bamboo can crack.
- bamboo is never perfectly straight or round.
- all prices refer to randomly selected bamboo canes from stock.
- for larger diameters, specific diameters, very straight poles or other criteria please contact bambusero for a quote
- most bamboo is sold in a freshly harvested green state. the only bamboo sold dry is the viet cane.
- there is a minimum order of $50 for bamboo canes unless picking up personally from the workshop. the postage or freight is additional.
