The whole thing flexed a lot, so I then tried filling the tube with expanding foam to make it stiffer. Unfortunately it wouldn't set properly and remained liquid in the core of the tubes. Properly dried and treated wood shouldn't bend, but the only alternatives to that would seem to be metal (the lighter the better) or carbon fiber (if you can afford it).
