The other issue is that they aren't usually as supple as 'proper' canes because they are a bit dried out. They can break when you use them which may cause cuts. But if you're not worried about that, then enjoy yourself

I wouldn't use it myself however since bamboo tend to splinter. Rattan is my personal choice and I recommend it for caning.

I have no idea of the variety, they don't get any more specific than bamboo.

But yeah, for light caning you'll probably be fine with the garden variety bamboo sticks. Just check for cracks, you don't want them coming apart on you.

I would personally for woods, much prefer the select birch dowels.  They are cheap enough you can get a big bundle, and destroy as many as you wish without great damage to your pocketbook.

They were artfully made and beautiful to look at; he taped the tops as ergonomic comfortable handles. Even the fattest broke eventually, so I've given up on them.

Personally, my favorites are long, stingy riding crops and short, thuddy riding bats (shorter and thicker than crops), both available in farm supply or equestrian venues.
