Big Bamboo: March 2014
http://mybigbamboo.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Big Bamboo is only as invasive as people allow it to become. Well managed, it is the best gift we can plant to give future generations a sustainable blessing. Saturday, March 29, 2014. Thanks to Steve Lau for sending this new Moso awhile back. We had a terribly cold Winter. Thought for sure this one had died but look behind it and to the right just a bit! Almost mowed these new shoots but spotted them at the last second. Looks like we're going to have a Moso forest someday! Posted by Charlie Little.

Big Bamboo: My First Bamboo Crafts
http://mybigbamboo.blogspot.com/2012/06/my-first-bamboo-crafts.html
Big Bamboo is only as invasive as people allow it to become. Well managed, it is the best gift we can plant to give future generations a sustainable blessing. Friday, June 22, 2012. My First Bamboo Crafts. Gave a piece of an old, dead, paste-wax polished culm to my neighbor a few days ago. Thought he might like a walking stick. Turns out his wife had other plans and he asked me for a few more pieces haha! Carmelized these with a propane torch and coated with paste wax. Brandi's new home interior decor.

Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build: Small Solar Bamboo Kiln
http://mycanoebuild.blogspot.com/2012/06/small-solar-bamboo-kiln.html
Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build. Modifying a Pygmy Taiga Canoe into an outrigger sail canoe, Trimaran. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Small Solar Bamboo Kiln. Here's a cheap and I bet very effective solar kiln idea for small amounts of bamboo or other wood, or make it big as one wants. It kind of even looks like bamboo haha! What's this got to do with boatbuilding? Easy to roll up into a cylinder shape and rivet edges together. New is $15 for 10ft locally. Can spray paint the finished tube flat black....Updat...

Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build: Sand The Hull...Sand The Hull

Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build. Modifying a Pygmy Taiga Canoe into an outrigger sail canoe, Trimaran. Monday, June 11, 2012. Sand The Hull.Sand The Hull. Oh man, I hate sanding! Why did I ever even build this hull up those years ago? Oh well it's almost done with and ready to start the fun stuff once again. Can't cut corners with building boats. Inner hull is at least ten times worse to sand than the outer but sand it we must for the other glass to stick well. Dry fitting of the center deck support panel.

Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build: DIY Wood Flour
http://mycanoebuild.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-wood-flour.html
Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build. Modifying a Pygmy Taiga Canoe into an outrigger sail canoe, Trimaran. Wednesday, June 13, 2012. One may simply empty their sander bag and have all the very fine wood flour for epoxy filler they might ever need. If one is like me, a sander bag gets in the way and gets lost amongst countless other unused items, somewhere in the jungle known as the garage. So one like me must improvise. Another thing I literally have barrels of is microcrystalline cellulose. It's a very fi...

Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build: Building An Outrigger Sailing Canoe
http://mycanoebuild.blogspot.com/2012/06/building-outrigger-sailing-canoe.html
Outrigger Sailing Canoe Build. Modifying a Pygmy Taiga Canoe into an outrigger sail canoe, Trimaran. Saturday, June 9, 2012. Building An Outrigger Sailing Canoe. Hi there and welcome to my canoe build! Time to finish her. A Pygmy Boats, Taiga Wilderness Canoe, purchased as a kit about ten years ago, assembled the hull, glassed the outside and epoxied the inside. She's been in storage ever since so I have named her Mis Años Diez, "My years Ten". No drawn plans to go by, just thoughts and probably some tri...
