Green rind on bamboo
« on: July 22, 2009, 10:42:50 am »
Is there a difference between the yellow rind and green rind on bamboo? I have green rind on some bamboo I received and was wondering if it has to dry or if it's usable in the green form?

Haven't noticed a pronounced difference in performance.  I understand, antecdotally, the blond color is from a force drying treatment of some kind, usually imported boo.  The green stuff I've used was harvested in SouthEast, USA.  Of the two, knowing no more than I do, I'd favor the green, all else being equal.

usually if you leave the greenish looking boo in the sun for a few days, it'll turn yellow.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Hi VB
  If thats the boo you got from me it should be thoroughly seasoned I got it at the classic in "08".

Ron, yours is fine, I got this from another generous individual. I have enough boo to make lots of bows now.
