those are so cool. keep them and you will think of something. I saw at my daughters school where a teacher had cut some to be all the same size and put them around milk crates she tied them together with a natural looking string they looked so neat. like the crate was built from bamboo. you could use a larger thing like maybe a plain looking trunk and do that. yes ! I might get some from the creek and do it. you got me thinking. oh no!! oh oh oh how about some kind of wall hanging? the halloween before last I hung some up so they would clatter and put them where the kids had to walk through them in the dark. they were cool. they make a nice sound when tapping together. wind chimes yes! you will think of something.

Answer 4

You could use them to make a table, chairs, even a baby crib.

If you think of things around your home, you can probably come up with a few good ideas yourself...and then you will be most satisfied with the use of them.

Answer 5

I heard wind chimes made out of them, but they were a little over 1-1/2 inch diameter. Sounded neat. Wonder what a larger diameter would sound like about 4 to 6 foot long..??

You could pass them on to other gardeners, either for free or in exchange for a plant or two. Or you could soak the stalks in water to keep them supple, then weave them into panels. Fix the panels upright to form windbreaks, or to hide untidy garden areas.

Answer 7

i'm a malaysian and in my tradition, there's a traditional kite that is made from bamboo stick. it's great if you have strong breeze at your place or it can also be a beautiful decoration.. btw, in malaysia, the kite is called 'wau bulan'..

YOU COULD MAKE BEAUTIFUL LAWN FURNITURE OR EVEN A NICE PLANT STAND AND HAVE A COUPLE OF IVY'S,OR A TYPE OF PLANT WITH VINES THAT WOULD ENTWINE AROUND THE BAMBOO PLANT STAND. I HAVE SEEN A COFFEE TABLE MADE OUT OF BAMBOO IT WAS PROB. ONE OF THE NICEST TABLES I HAVE SEEN. WIND CHIMES...OF COURSE YOU WOULD HAVE TO CUT THEM IF YOU WERE TO MAKE CHIMES.THEY DO SOUND BEAUTIFUL. IN HAWAII THEY MAKE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.IT'S AMAZING THE SOUND THAT COMES FROM A BAMBOO(LONG ONE) I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD WANT TO PROFIT BUT YOU COULD ALSO MAKE SOME PRETTY NICE CANES OUT OF THE BAMBOO AND MAKE A LOT OF MONEY.I MAKE CANES OUT OF DIAMOND WILLOW AND DO PRETTY GOOD.I DO THINK THAT YOU ARE LUCKY TO HAVE ALL THAT BAMBOO.GOOD LUCK
