Question : I have a floor to ceiling hot water pipe in my bathroom and i want to wrap it with bamboo. Anyone know how?
I saw threads about doing this on apartmenttherapy.com but I couldnt find any pictures of it done. If anyone knows a) where to get the bamboo to do this b) how I do it and c) where I can view pictures of completed projects involving this that would be great. Thanks!

Your going to need Bamboo about twice the size of your pipe. Try a garden store. Split the bamboo down the middle with a large heavy knife, or have someone saw it. Rim out the chamber walls to fit around the pipe, and glue them together, or you can wire them with some small silver or yellow wire.
Did you want the bamboo that’s about 1/2 inch thick or the ones that are about 1/4 inch thick? If you want the smaller ones, you can buy wallpaper made out of real bamboo. That would be fairly simple to install since it is just like using normal wallpaper. (Make sure to get the special glue made for bathrooms and kitchens.) If it is the thicker kind, only thing I can think of is drilling a tiny hole into each piece and threading wire through them to bundle it together around your pipe. Good luck!
