Why are you getting Bamboo?
The reason I ask is because I'm very interested in Bamboo. I read an article in the current Scientific American that explains a lot about it. It'd be worth it to check it out if you're getting it for the reasons I think.
There are questions you need to ask about Bamboo to ensure you get what you're really after. There are differences in age as well as hardness.
If you're doing it for environmental issues (ie. renewable resource, etc. etc.)....I highly recommend reading the article as it shed a lot of light on that issue as well.
Sorry for the long post.
