How well will bamboo hold up in both hot and cold weather, rain, humidity, etc.?

That sounds like a technical term; I like it.

Haha, in 3 feet, I can only get about to about 30% of a full tail based on the template, since my tail end is fairly squared off. Your frame certainly looks nice. Maybe I could make arcs with thin aluminum barstock instead of bamboo for better weather resistance.
