I have had these 5 bamboo blanks laying around for 20 years and never knew what to do with them. Any ideas would be appreciated. Specs are as follows: Tip- .8mm, Butt- 1.4mm, Length 4' 10"

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff;
Metric measurements don't mean much to us dinosaurs, if you could measure both ends of each section with a dial caliper that reads in thousandths of an inch some of us might be able to help you.
