It got to the point where getting appropriate bamboo strips was a real pain
or cost too much to have it shipped.

I ended up going to a World Market store and buying a bamboo shade. Using
and splitting the slats worked out fine and I have enough bamboo to last me
for a long time.

Slat size is 1.2mm x 10mm. That works out fine for the kites I want to
build.

Thank you for all of the suggestions on where to look.
