Abstract: A support base made of bamboo culms is provided. Culms forming legs for support are cut to form a flat surface on the ends of culms contacting a floor. Holes are drilled through the culms at selected distances and angles so as to allow the culms to form a support having a waist. The structure is supported by wires, cord, rope or similar members through the holes that are placed in tension when a load is applied to the base. Spacers, preferably of bamboo culms having a smaller diameter than the legs, are placed over the wires between legs of the base.
