I have got three 3ft lengths of bamboo, the narrowest is 2.25 inch, the widest 3 inch. By the looks of them there should be enough for 9 tubes. Having never made a float tube any tips would be much appreciated....

That's a very generous offer BB, thank you. At least allow me to pay the delivery when you're are finished.

Very early days with the first three. The tallest will hold floats up to 12inch, the smallest floats up to 8inch. I'm not sure if to leave them plain, scorch them or see if I can find some sort of fish drawing to go on them.
