David,
 
I'd love to hear more about using bamboo. What size, how is it split, steam
bent? Can you fill in some details of direct us to a source of information
about building with bamboo?
 
Thanks,
 
Kellan

I can empathize with Wendy's predicament, living as I do in NJ. I had
a great experience using split bamboo as ribs and would like to do a
tandem next using willow shoots for ribbing material. I've got my
pruning shears ready!
