No, but I do have to pass on a tip I discovered today..
Cut cut the canes at the ground with a chainsaw, and I dragged them home 
and let them sit and dry out.  He did not want me to use his good 
Japanese flush cut saw and I don't like the chainsaw, so I went into the 
shop to find the half broken rickety sawzall for the job...Then, I spied 
the sheetrock saw and decided to give it a try...sheetrock saws work 
great on bamboo, and the silicates in the bamboo did not even dull the 
blade.
 After this project, I'm going to have some leftover canes..mostly they 
are the bottom sections, about 3" diameter and about 12-20 feet long. 
Any ideas for what I could use them for?
