Bamboo Drying Method in Colombia

What is the drying method being adopted in Colombia with tubes running into bamboo? Thanks in advance!


Best Answer:

That's a technique called "el Pulpo" (invented by Jörg Stamm). All nodes are perforated inside the bamboo in order to preserve them in large tanks with boron salts. Afterwards hot air is forced through the poles which rapidly reduces the moisture content.
