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 ?
