Do Tonkin Canes Need any Treatment if Used for Ski Poles?

I'm making alpine ski poles of tonkin bamboo. Do tonkin canes really need any treatment if they will be used for ski poles? Once they are "converted" into ski poles they will either be stored indoors (usually in a dry place together with the skis) or outdoors in cold and dry conditions on high altitude. Low humidity and not many insects, so do the bamboo then really need any treatment? Looking forward to a reply! Thank you very much!
