Paul LaMasters Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 my bride is looking for "matchstick bamboo spars", ... can anyone offer assistance? here's the inquiry I am curious where you get your spars from for outreach events? Especially the matchstick bamboo spars that bow. I am new to the world of kites and am learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I think you can find them at a Chinese grocery store. That would be my first stop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Could you split down some food skewers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PereiraM Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I have seen some bamboo in similar sizes at craft stores such as Michael's. You may want to check out some places like this as it is sometimes used in basket weaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevRookie Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I've butchered a "roll up" bamboo blind that I think was meant to be a blind on a deck or patio. It was great because it gave me 6 or 8' pieces that were quite uniform. Check Amazon - they have matchstick & thin slat type blinds. Good Luck Kelly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vnkite Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Bamboo is very popular in Vietnam :D. Here we use bamboo to make kites and flutes. It is not related to the topic, but if you are interested in learning how to make Sao Dieu (kite flute), this is a forum for your reference (however, all is Vietnamese): https://dieusao.com/f/node/17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
