I am looking for narrow and wide dried bamboo for use in tabletop fountains. I live in Rapid City, SD and there is no bamboo to be found here. Anyone know where I can buy it online???
Thanks.

Hi Nancy,
We have made a list of ( U.S.) Bamboo Poles and Raw Materials Suppliers at the Bamboocrafts Resources link -
http://www.bamboocraft.net/poles_raw_materials.html
It lists sources of bamboo materials from different regions, providing member's with a list of suppliers to contact and gives suppliers an opportunity to contact us so that we can add them to the list.
This information might include... Types/Sources, Quality/Grades, Sizes/Dimensions, and other specifications.
If you do not have access to locally available materials, and you do not want to travel hundreds of miles to get it, then the amount of materials you need, the cost of shipping, and affordability (budget), needs to be considered.
If you only need an amount that is easily ship-able by UPS type freight, then you have a good selection of sources that you can select from here in the U.S.
You can choose from Imported or U.S. Grown Materials.
It's good to check around, and to compare prices and materials.
Hope this can help for now...
