Ways to use broken bamboo

Hey, I’m looking for help brainstorming ways I can use bamboo. There’s a huge patch on the side of the highway near me and they cleared a bunch of it so it’s just laying around, and the Permie in me thought, I don’t want this to go to waste!

But I pulled over yesterday afternoon and picked some of it up. As I looked through it, I can see that the majority of them are already dried out and super cracked, so structurally they’re not that great. More of a c-shape than a full circle. Still somewhat sturdy for little things I suppose…

So now I’m wondering what can be done with broken bamboo? I know in theory they make all sorts of things with it, like yarn and hardwood floors in bowls and things, but (from a personal level rather than commercial) is any of that feasible for me to try? Or could I make it into some sort of woven thing or firewood/fuel or biochar? Help me brainstorm! 😀
