and it almost looks as if it was tied with string to produce that effect.
One thing for sure is, I wouldn't want a whomping from that stick behind Skeeters ol 
woodshed!
I will see if I can find some pictures of square bamboo. What'll they think of next ?

When the new shoots emerge they frame a square box to form the quad shape....Pretty ingenius as he sells the square poles for $$$$$. The bamboo
naturally is round.
This guy is a huge operation and must have many acres to grow goods.
