Isurus,
Yes, I agree with you, the roundness of bamboo is less harmful to the spikes. Unfortunately I have problems to find these baskets again (I bought the baskets ready to use). I think the bamboo are 'treated' with some kind of 'varnish' or something like that, but bamboo rots in a few years; the great resistence of wooden baskets (specially if made with "peroba-rosa" - Aspidosperma polyneuron, or "ipê" - Tabebuia chrysotricha) is the major advantage!
