Bamboo Knitting

2007.08.29


Bamboo scaffolding is the traditional art and has its long history in China. It is popular to see bamboo scaffolding use in building construction. The advantages of bamboo are lightweight, strong and flexible. However, the erection of scaffolding is high dangerous job so it is gradually replaced by steel scaffolding today.

RensRijlaarsdam Really great set
what kind of bands do they use to tie the poles together?
RensRijlaarsdam · 2007-08-31: 02:19
ainhoator Bamboo is a kind of material that seems to me altogether magic. A tree that grows extremely quick. A wood that seems to have been intentionally shaped by some extremely skilled but unconceited crafstman. A material of manifold possibilities. I wish bamboo forests were industrially exploited as are forests in central Europe not just felled for industrial purposes. It would prevent their complete destruction and bring a nature friendly means of livelihood for many people and many living beings.

Dangerous or not, it would be a pity that this bamboo knitting craft were lost and/or replaced by metallic scaffolding: it is beatiful and still perfectible.

This craft should be preserved but the salaries and the security conditions of these scaffolders should be improved in order to meet developped countries standards.

Sorry for all that.

About the pics: so simple yet so beautiful.

Lumierenatural wow Gary almost missed this love the color contrast and thanks for sharing
