Title: Drying time for bamboo?
Post by: mcginnis6010 on March 29, 2013, 10:57:10 pm

Anyone know the drying time for bamboo? I'm picking up a truckload of it tomorrow and some of it is dry but most will be fresh cut and its free!

A couple of months to be sure. You could probably start working them after a month.
  Are you sure the already dry cane you are getting were green when cut. If you don't know, don't use them. Cane will degrade very fast in the wild after it is dead.
