Excellent thread, thank you for taking the time to teach. I was getting ready to tackle this for the first time. Perfect timing. This thread should be a sticky.

Only question I have is, how much were the bamboo plant stakes at Home Depot?

Under $4.00 [thumbsup]

I will do that. I'm liking the dowel idea for tapering the shafts.
Originally, I went with a piece of aluminum shaft---like a footing, left the insert in it so I can use screw-ins. Its functional but ugly as mud.

Awesome build. Any idea how stiff the spine might be on the stiffest shoots?
