Does that black tip serve a function?

I have no idea. I use fiberglass partly to prevent splitting and sharp edges.

This. The ex Dom and I used to make canes. The dip is just to keep the ends from being sharp and to keep it from splitting. It does not however, keep from breaking. Bamboo rods are cheap for a reason. They break easily and are not meant to last forever.

Hey. I have bamboo growing in my back yard (infiltrated by a sadistic neighbor).
But, this bamboo has raised growth rings.

Wouldn't they cause extra welts?

Hah-Come summertime, I but bamboo by the bushel. Ooooh, the lilone hates it so.
(But she prefers bamboo to some of my other caning type utensils)

If you want, you can easily add a cork or closed cell foam grip.

Customized thread art makes them really nice too.

That's just one of the reasons why most cane manufacturers use rattan rather than bamboo. Rattan is solid and generally more flexible then bamboo.

Not if they're sanded down.

And your problem is?

There are all different types of bamboo. Some canes are made with the type you mention. Others are made from the young green shoots. Some are made from a different type of bamboo that does not have the notches. Plus there are many different diameter of bamboo depending on which kind it is. There are literally hundreds of different types of bamboo.

Status: offline 		Yes, rattan is also another material for canes but even they can split and break. But they're cheap enough to make. Or you could just go outside and grab a birch branch.

I would expect the large change in moisture first going in and then going right back out to make it more likely to break and that oil would be a more stable way of keeping them flexible.

Status: offline 		If they're finished with a coating to help slow down moisture loss, then it's not something you need to do often. But things don't absorb moisture in some rush of water, and then lose it the same way - well unless you have some pretty rapid fluctuations in temperature and air pressure/humidity, I'd say. A presenter who spoke with us once said she sticks hers in a shallow cup of water, end first, and it soaks water up slowly like a plant stem. Leaving them to dry naturally in the air rather than trying to speed up the process artificially, keeps them from cracking from rapid water loss.

Rattan


I don't have a clue what 'rattan' is, so, googling, I find out:
quote:


Rattan is the name for the roughly 600 species of palms in the tribe Calameae, native to tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australasia. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Calameae
Rank: Tribe
Higher classification: Calamoideae
Lower classifications: Salacca


So where do you get your palm canes anyway?

Bah. Get a nice whippy piece of plastic, something like the rods you use to turn blinds. That shit hurts like the blazes.

Edited to add-If you do use steel or metal, get something thin and flexible, like a car antennae. Those things are amazing. They leave the bestest marks ever.
