It depends how thick the bamboo is. Vacuum veneering works best when the material you are bending is thin and single ply. 1/16″ is a good thickness for bending. The rule of thumb is. If you can bend one sheet by hand around a form you can usually bend multiple layers of the same material in a vacuum bag.

Hey Ted!
Couldn’t find a way to contact you on your blog, so I figured this was the best way. Your blogging and woodworking tutorials are great…really informative and graphic. I’ve created an 86 minute Drum Making DVD that I think you might enjoy. Please send me an e-mail, and I would love to send you a copy of the Dvd. You can check out a preview of the DVD at www.guerrilladrummaking.com
Thanks for all the great info Ted.
