How to Dry and Cure Bamboo Poles 

This article shows very quickly how I dry bamboo for my dome project.
Once I cut the bamboo I needed to find a place to dry it, first I trimmed off the leaves and then I set up a drying station in my basement. It is nothing more than four cement post piers and two 6 foot sections of bamboo to hold all the bamboo poles off the ground.
From what I have researched, there are a couple ways people go about drying bamboo, you need to keep it out of the water and wet for 1-3 months because green bamboo contains a lot of sugars and starches so it will rot very easily.
