Never mind, this was an easy answer -- "If bamboo is added to the MRc7 calculations, all bamboo on the project (FSC or otherwise) must be accounted for in the value for all new wood-based components for the project."

Bamboo is a Rapid Renewable product. It is not FSC product. I don't think it can be counted in this credit.

Johnny, since FSC-certified bamboo has become available in the last year or so, it has become accepted to include it in MRc7 as well as MRc6.
