Re: How to build wood tower ?

actually ''Not'' steaming the wood when bending, and bendind it so that it in-effect becomes the spring... will take a greater load for less weight than any other structure... you could distribute the load amongst many 'springs' allong the height of the structure... just watch it you don't go over the maxload rating!

PS... this is the concept used in bridge building.... forces are 'pre-tensioned' throughout the structure and directed to an 'immovable' anchor.

OH PPS ... the Galelian Arc.. is the most 'light vs force' arc that can be used.
