I am new to bamboo and would like some advice as to which book on the market would be best to learn about cutting, sculpting , and generally working with bamboo. My interest in the material is as an instrument maker

Hello, in my opinion the best book about working with bamboo is Oscar Hidalgos "Bamboo Gift of the Gods" It is to date the most comprehensive how to bamboo book yet. I don’t know where to get it but I’m sure a search in the web will offer many results. I have a downloadable PDF about flute building on my web site. There are several others that have to do with treatment and connections with bamboo poles. You will find them at the end of this page. http://www.koolbamboo.com/mission.htm
