Actually, the process of heat treating, if done properly, should prevent cracking. It make the bamboo stiffer, stronger, and lighter, and the fibers bind together which stops it from cracking.

Bamboo is very strong and has exceptional dampening characteristics in tension and compression, which is perfect for a classic bike frame. "Ladies" bikes, however, exert a lot of bending force on the top, down, and seat tubes, which is why they are built to be considerably heavier. As such, that frame style really isn't a great candidate to be made from bamboo.

This is called Tempering bamboo. This process will actually make the outer shell of the bamboo stronger and reduce the chance of splitting. Over Heating the bamboo while in the temper process will result in turning the sugars brittle and most likely result in the bamboo splitting instantly. This is a process used in bamboo fly-rod construction.

This is definitely not just for visual effect. The same bamboo untreated dried and cracked. The pieces I treated, including those in this video, still look brand new after being ridden for 3 years. The cooking of the resins is an important chemical process for the bamboo to be durable.

I probably don't need to comment but I have a nice piece for a flute I want to make. This would be a curing process but it stills needs to dry.Better to use ,like a grill where you can heat the thing evenly. When it has been heated rub the resins down and let dry. I think the torch is too hot and superficial. The wholes help with a more even heat expansion.,inside the bamboo I would think.

If you’re heat curing a really long bamboo pole, say 12’, could you just poke or drill a small hole in the sidewall of each culm to prevent it from popping?

Hi Jesse, I am sure that would work. You just need to make sure the air pressure can escape, and then the cavity can refill with air when the piece cools so you don't create a vacuum.

There is nothing inherently bad about volatile organic compounds. They are responsible for the lovely woody smell that bamboo has. For best results, make sure you start with fresh green bamboo, not dried. If you are going to take really good care of your furniture, then heat treating can be enough. You can also stain or epoxy after, which will add durability. Good luck and have fun!
