If you look at page 82 of this thread you'll see the post on my bamboo construction for hakas
Sorry bets-y I must have gotten my post themes mixed up with the 'expedition' and didn't read after the 72 post. There is very clearly a bamboo Haka on page 82, thanks for pointing it out. I not only get to check out your bamboo Haka but have a few more pages of reading
I like what you've done and the look of bamboo is quiet attractive. I was going to do a similar sort of approach having also done the bamboo tying etc youtubes

But my intention was to cover about another third of the armas (one of the purposes was use as a bed base) and I was going to experiment with a variety of rope thicknesses and cinching. Also I wasn't going to have bracing as transportation was a consideration so it was going to be rolled up like the grass mat it is, and put it inside the car.
As mentioned I've based my Haka on the traditional rope beds (more youtubes) and I'm glad I've gone down that path as it is a great fit for my purposes.
Perhaps I might be the only one to have done it this way but I think I need to do some more reading before I can say that
