Bamboo Poles - 2007/04/14 23:02Just to let everyone know in case they were wondering if I could get them one. I am not able to get any bamboo poles to use for pole arms and the like. The few I came across a year ago were a fluke. It probably won't happen again so peace.

Re:Bamboo Poles - 2007/04/15 00:28Well, if anyone wants them I go up to the Denver area each month for my Guard drill. I can easily run over to Boulder and pick some up there....that is where I have purchased them in the past.Hops.....Grains.....By God, my beer is a salad!

Re:Bamboo Poles - 2007/04/17 14:33No - The Kite Spar generally comes from "Into the Wind". It can be ordered from them and they will ship it down here. The price isnt that bad even with shipping. Check them out online if you want.....I believe that store is in boulder as well.Hops.....Grains.....By God, my beer is a salad!

Re:Bamboo Poles - 2007/04/17 15:34McGuckins ( or however you spell it ) is in Boulder for bamboo, usually best to go there and check out the poles to make sure you don't get one that's cracked or wonky Into The Wind in boulder too, for kitespar, 505 or higher is good for poles, longer the pole the thicker you'll probably want.
