2002 The Plantation is not ready yet	2002 Plantation	2002 Plantation
so off to central Florida Where the older bamboo lives	Inside the patch	Every segment makes a different instument
Marking the ones I want with blue tape	Cutting	Pulling them out
It is a moving experience	Preparing to transport	Filling the truck
Curing in a tee pee by the shop	Winter Sun is best to cure bamboo	Curing takes a few months,
the dryer poles are removed	And are clipped	Clipping branches
Clipping	The poles are placed on the Bamboo shoot	And cut into segments, washed, marked and drilled
Hot irons burn the holes	Moving a hole in the tuning process	Electronic tuning
