Bundling multiple elongated articles comprises: loading the articles into a stationary bunk rack; positioning pairs of bundling members vertically against opposing sides of the articles in the bunk rack; wrapping flexible binding members around the bundling members and the articles in the bunk rack; tensioning and securing the binding members. Each pair of bundling members has a corresponding binding members positioned around them. Tensioning the binding members urges the bundling members against the opposing sides of the bundle, so that the bundle assumes a shape that is (i) substantially flat over portions of an outer bundle surface against the binding members and (ii) convex over portions of the outer bundle surfaces that are not against the binding members. Securing the tensioned binding members secures the bundle and the bundling members together. The elongated articles can assume an irregular arrangement over portions of a bundle cross-section.
