Hi all;

 

Just got me a beautiful 6-ft bamboo staff from the local greenhouse (for $5!!!), and was wondering how to keep it from cracking over time. Just keep it moist with water? Use linseed oil like for other woods? Help!

I'm sorry to say I don't know for sure. Most bamboo staffs I've worked with have lasted on their own.

As I just corrected myself on the other bo thread, the best material for a staff is rattan. You can get them with the skin on or off. In either case, it requires little to no maintanence.

 

Bamboo, being hollow, will not hold up against the strikes of a solid staff. Makes a good blow gun though. :)
