Bought of few second hand bowls for the bay, my first experiment is herein:

I used smaller pieces of bamboo to pin it together. I'm thinking all natural, tribal, etc. That is, crude is cool. The bowl could use a finishing round of sanding. However, I'm thinking just add a wax polish and let it be?
I even left a bulb bud on the root, and branches on the stem (which help keep it upright). Otherwise, it's airtight.
Opinions?

But does it pass a pipe cleaner? Just kidding, it looks great. I really like the bamboo bud.

olkofri. LOL. I should add a pump action, next.
retrogrouch: Thanks. The bud is something of interest. The benefit of digging up my own:

It's a lot of work, (and now I know why they charge to so much for these kinds of materials).
It will accept a pipe cleaner as I try to maintain a consistent 3mm ID, throughout.

So many ideas, so little time. I'm trying not to be another brick in the wall of builders.
