You don't need to build it from wood to get around the diameter problem. The worlds biggest wind turbine is built in Germany using a truss base
Sure and that's cool. Do you think it's a good idea to use these wooden composites?
Would have to watch the video and see how exactly they use it. It can of course handle a lot of stress, but is also more in need of care than a metal or composite base
