Bamboo sections are attached loosely to a frame. Frame consists of a large cylinder that has four perpendicular rods going through it that are held in place by two cross bars, the lower one of which connects two rods with one short semi-tube and a third rod while the upper one of which connects all four rods with one large semi-tube in between the third and fourth rods.
