    Hello, It's been 3 years you start this subject but maybe I can help. I was looking for information about bamboo work because it's a very versatile material and easy to grow. I found this video from Jiro Yonezawa, a Japanese bamboo artist which live in USA : A lot of good explanation and advice in English You can also buy this ebook translate from Japanese to English : The bamboo basket handbook It explains a lot of think like : how to choose your bamboo and the best species to use. How to make higo (bamboo strips) and how to make basic basket. I didn't buy it but you can see a lot of pages for free here For the tools : Bamboo higo (bamboo strips for basket) are made first by running it between two blades to make it an even width. The blades are named haba-tori (幅取り) or Kiridashi kogatana (left and right handed) then running it through a plane-like tool (called urasuki-sen, うらすき銑) to bring it to an even thickness. The bamboo splitter is called Takewari-bocho you can find it online here (as well as Haba Tori) I didn't found the planer yet, I think is made on order for bamboo artist. One more video !! Enjoy

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
