Have you ever heard of, or experimented with “molding” guadua bamboo as it grows, to end up with a finished pole that has the exact shape you need? I am researching these interesting helix shapes as Zome structures, and I realized that bamboo structural poles formed into the complicated spiral shapes needed would be perfect. Here is the link to info about it: Helix Zome . 📷 📷 📷 📷 All the necessary spiral poles would be exact copies of each other, so some sort of shape-retainer of the bamboo while it is growing would make for a super strong and very beautiful zome structure. If you have ever heard of anyone bending guadua bamboo as it grows, I would love to hear about it. BTW you have got one excellent website! Thank you very much for all of your work on it. The amount and quality of content is superb.
