Very cool! I think the darker joints accentuates that they are bamboo and don't look bad at all. Are you thinking about adding grips? You could probably get tennis racket wrap pretty cheap.

When I read the title I was thinking those cheap thin poles you can buy in the gardening section of the hardware store for pennies, but these look nice a strong!

Edit, the only downside I see is that I doubt your tips will last very long. I think the shoe goo will get ripped up every time they strike a rock.
