Hi Greg,
I very much enjoyed sharing your experience through your pics!
Madake is Phyllostachys bambusoides (http://www.bamboocraft.net/bamboo/showgallery.php?cat=548)
... Noted for it's long relatively straight culms with little taper ...

... making it nice to split into even segments.
... Today was Austin TX 79th annual Kite Festival which I was unable to attend. :( Hopefully will make it to next years ...
