If the culms are 3 yrs old or less they will not be very durable
(relative to your climate of course).
If they are not a known structural species I wouldn't use them for
anything structural unless it's a complete experiment and nobody will be
at risk if it fails.
All I'm saying (besides 'give peace a chance' ;-) is don't put a lot of
effort into doing something with them that they're not durable or mature
enough for. Find that out first and then dig through the thousand+
possibilities... :-)
cheers,
John S.
