Bamboo
Philip Peak

Anyone know where I can get some bamboo stalks preferably of various sizes?

Catherine Meyer
Phil, 
Michaels.com craft store has several options depending on what you need. Search for "bamboo stalks" at the top of the 1st page.

Catherine, I appreciate the info but after looking through many pages, I didn’t see what I am wanting. I want the whole stalks to fill with resin and other things to turn.

If you are willing to go in person and check, you might try Saraga, the international grocery on the northeast side (Castleton area). I don’t remember if they had any actual bamboo but I know they have a bunch of Chinese cooking utensils, trivets, and other bamboo-made items. Definitely a long-shot.

Our landscaping company will annually use bamboo in our outdoor planters for the winter.  You may want to check with some of the local landscapers.

I saw some listed on Etsy and also Amazon. Many seemed to be of fairly small diameter. Those I saw of larger diameter got a little pricey.

Thank for the tips. I will definitely check out landscapers and see if they can give me any ideas. I checked Amazon but didn’t see anything but live plants. I will check out Etsy and see what’s there.

I have a variety of bamboo pieces that are probably at least 1" in diameter.    Some are larger.   Picked them up in FL.   Come and see if any you can use.  Free.
