Bamboo poles were cut from a forrest. The poles were then cut to the rough length needed for the various sections. The poles were then washed and the nodes punctured to avoid the tubes exploding during heat treatment. The poles were then heat treated, this is done three times first to remove the waxy layer then second to remove the chlorophyl layer and a lot of the moisture, i let them stand for about a week before i did the third treatment, this is to remove more moisture and give the poles a nice colour..
