(June 1975). "STUDIES ON GROWTH AND MATURITY OF BAMBOO CULMS". The Commonwealth Forestry Review. 54 (2): 147–153. It is important that we, as users of bamboo, learn to harvest and treat it properly to prove to others that it is not as bad of a construction material as they might think. I always have people telling me that it doesn’t last and then I tell them about places in Indonesia and Latin America that have been around for decades. George IV bolstered this reputation when he incorporated a host of bamboo and faux-bamboo furnishings into his ornate and spectacular Brighton Pavillion in 1815 whilst still Prince Regent. It really is a shame because bamboo has been proven the world over as a viable building material. Especially in the tropical parts of the United States, such as Hawai’i and Florida, bamboo should be allowed to be used as a building material. Until then, bamboo will not be able to showcase its truest potential.

Bamboo has often been used to construct weapons and is still incorporated in several Asian martial arts. After a hot and sweaty walk through the small streets on the outskirts of Battambang, we arrived at a small dirt road where the Battambang Bamboo Train office was to be found.Loewe, Michael (1997).

Bamboo or wooden strips were used as the standard writing material during the early Han dynasty, and excavated examples have been found in abundance. [80] Subsequently, paper began to displace bamboo and wooden strips from mainstream uses, and by the fourth century AD, bamboo slips had been largely abandoned as a medium for writing in China. Leaching is the removal of sap after harvest. In many areas of the world, the sap levels in harvested bamboo are reduced either through leaching or post-harvest photosynthesis. I know honestly, you don’t actually need to bring too much with you on the Battambang Bamboo Train. Though here are a few things that I recommend to ensure you make the most out of your visit.

(1992). New RHS Dictionary of Gardening. Macmillan. ISBN 978-0-333-47494-5. Baodun culture houses used bamboo lattice frames and layers of mud to create houses, according to Art Insider. The Baodun used bamboo frames instead of wooden ones because they were ideally suited to the local terrain and geography.
