In Asia they weave thin strips of bamboo into sheets (plys) out of
which they make a very durable construction plywood. It is claimed to
last much longer than douglas fir plywood for concrete forming. The
sheets of plywood used in construction are too thick and heavy for
small boat hulls.

I may just have to use epoxy on the ends to seal off the inside part. I am
not sure if I am going to use it for a mast yet. I may not be able to get it
in a long enough length. I am mainly thinking I would use it for some
crossbeam supports running between the akas but if I can get it to work as a
mast I may do that as well.
