One 12-inch Bamboo Stalk

Just put these elegant sticks in a plain glass vase and you'll have an chic and natural table accent. Better yet, use them in book bindings or as each end of a scroll. Of course, because they are natural bamboo, no two will ever be alike.

Each is about 12 inches long and about 1/2 inch in diameter.

You might even want to consider carving your own reed pen or calame from these very straight stalks! Or, make an Egyptian-themed book from papyrus and bind it with bamboo.
