Default ready to put some boat on my boat

Well, it is your boat of course. But, do give some thought to the
reasons why people living in bamboo growing areas do not, as a rule,
use bamboo as mast material even though they may well use it as
battens in junk type sails.

How are you planning on treating the bamboo , on the inside, with
epoxy? Drilling a hole in each section and pour in epoxy, slosh it
around and pour it out?

Exactly...bamboo is a great and stong material , temporarily.

Great to roast your sticky rice in, but as a boat building material..... why
would anyone consider using it ?
