Bamboo lumber

I was NOT impressed with what I saw in those pictures. Looks to me like the stuff was deforming and cupping even in the lamination, and like some of the joints were failing even outside the stress tests.

May be ok for your cheap tropical 'rude hut', but I don't think I'll be buying roof beams made that way any time soon! I think I'll stick with pine and resorcinol for gluelam.

Phyllostachus nigra, possibly. Could be Bambusa Lako also. Other candidates?!?
