How to make a bamboo fence

Our guest house was one of many sub-temples on the grounds of the Mysojin Temple complex.  Walking through over a few days, we saw various stages as a team of professionals were constructing a fence from green (fresh) bamboo.  Since I have made many things out of bamboo, I was VERY interested!



There were a combination of traditional tools -- the bamboo splitter and Japanese bamboo saw -- and modern ones -- grinder, drill, and screw inserter.  




And now that I am home, inspired by what I saw, and making use of what I have available, I made my own bamboo and cedar fence!


My intention is to have Virginia Creeper, a native plant, climb up the fence.
