A wooden spring includes a strip of wood of medium thickness a, medium width b, and stretched length l. The coils of strips of wood are made using a method of making wooden springs with a helical shape, the coils having a mean diameter d and an average pitch s. Medium thickness a is 0.2 to 2 millimeters (mm), medium width b is 1 to 10 mm, stretched length l is 10 to 5000 mm, mean diameter d is 6 to 60 mm, and average pitch s is 4 to 40 mm. A wooden fabric interlaced of wooden springs includes helix shaped strips of wood. The wooden springs are interlaced with at least two side by side wooden springs to form a wooden spring fabric.

A pole including a plurality of truncated cones arranged in a linear array to form the pole, wherein each truncated cone receives an adjacent truncated cone within its interior. Each truncated cone in the pole is formed from a veneer by moving the longitudinal edges of the veneer towards each other. A method of manufacturing the pole and various uses of the pole are also provided.

A pole for supporting a cable. The pole includes a plurality of truncated cones arranged in a linear array to form the pole, wherein each truncated cone receives an adjacent truncated cone within its interior. Each truncated cone in the pole is formed from a veneer by moving the longitudinal edges of the veneer towards each other. A method of manufacturing the pole and various uses of the pole are also provided.

A tubular implement, such as a container, in particular a container (pipe for transport) for food or beverages such as a drinking straw, includes a first part having a sheet of wood veneer rolled to form the tubular implement in the form of a cylinder.
