Uniform lengths of hollow bamboo rod

Tags: #<Tag:0x00007fa4a5e76d40>

Hi

I am looking to create the above for a larger project I am working on.

I don’t want to go the whole hog of creating split cane blanks at this stage as fabulous as they would be! Rather I just want to take some standard bamboo lengths (from the garden) and make them as uniform as possible.

The dimensions would be 60cm long and 13cm diameter the whole length.

I imagine a plane and some sort of jig would be in order but am open to suggestions.

The lengths will need to be hollow the whole length but I imagine that’s not such a difficult proposition.

Thanks!

Did you intend to attach a picture?

Average width of these is about 15mm (at the smooth part obviously).

Ultimately I would like to make hollow split cane sections like this -
