Does any one know where I could find some strips of bamboo in B.C.? I tried to find some but couldn’t find any, I only found some 3 ply laminated flooring made from strips of bamboo, I could cut the ply’s apart with a band saw but the guy couldn’t tell me the type of glue used to hold it together so it might not even work, if it’s a glue is a type that hardens hard with out letting the wood bend then it wouldn’t work at all and just snap. So any one got any ideas? China town at Vancouver? Any advise as to where to try would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've been to B.C. (Whistler trip), but I've no recommendations. There's a pot of it where I'm at. Correspond with me if stuck.

garden centers, rona, home depot. I live in Victoria, and bought a 4" diameter piece of bamboo at rona i think. Not too hard to find. Where you located?

I'm on the other coast here, but I ordered from Cali and STILL got free shipping into Canada if I recall correctly when I ordered 25 slats! GOOD DEAL! Bamboo Forever does the same I think. try Bamboo Lumber in Ontario too.
Also try this one in BC....I didn't see bamboo slats there but maybe they can get you some.

Does Google not work on the west coast? They're in Chilliwack.
Incredible selection going by their Web page.
Bamboo grows quite extensively in BC as well so you may be able to cut some. The climate there must be virtually identical to parts of China and
Japan.
