Working on a scratch build and may be able to get fins for it made of bamboo...

The alternative is the much-more-traditional baltic birch plywood. So obviously that would work, but... Bamboo is strong and light and - being porous - would probably take well to being glassed, as the resin ought to impregnate the bamboo a bit. Thoughts?
 
My dad made a rocket from all bamboo airframe nosecone and fins did his level 1 on it too I'll see if I have a pic of it when I get home.
