Jerry,
Thanks for the input. I'm actually going to try to get some of that real "boo", not the switch cane that I showed earlier in the year. I just wanted to know if I cut some boo next weekend, how long do I have to get it in the water before it starts turning brown, & breaking down. It's getting real close to dog days around here, & I'm gonna try to try to build some condos soon & mats with blocks.
