How to build a skyscraper out of wood (Vigte: I was skeptical, but I read through and they seem to have thought it through quite well... I'm impressed.)

I would assume the set up could be made without fasteners - it could be laid atop and pieced together with joints - sort of like Japanese carpentry perhaps (but more american-industrialized, less fancy I presume).

Realistically, even if it were only LIGHTLY treated on the outside after manufacture and was entirely "condensed wood" - think about a firepit out camping.

By the time the wood actually starts to fall apart (especially if it's uniform, huge and smooth, which will take FOREVER to light), everyone can be out...
