Hi All
Anyone know a good way of getting an even thickness Bamboo backing?
A 7' length of bamboo is a good few mm thicker at one end to the other.
With most woods you can just put them through a thicknesser a few times and you get a nice even thickness. But bamboo has nodes on the one side which would prevent this working.
Putting bamboo in a vice and planning it is also a bit tricky, as the bamboo has very thin at the edges where you would clamp it.
Am I missing a simple solution?
