Woodturning - Bamboo (From Tropical Storm Fred)

First, I'd like to thank Tropical Storm Fred for leaving me some beach treasures while not ripping the roof off of my house! I knew I wanted to do a woodturning project with the bamboo I found, I just wasn't sure which approach to take.. So I decided to take advantage of it's natural architecture and turn it into a water vessel!

I've cut bamboo similar to this before and the walls were a lot thicker than the bamboo I cut here. This made it difficult to cut a ridge for the lid to seal to while keeping enough wood on the outside wall to support the wooden pin. Bamboo turned out to be a lot stronger than I imagined! So all turned out well.

I grew up on the beaches here in the panhandle of Florida and there's always an adventure waiting along the beaches less travelled.
