For model making they are particularly useful for weight bearing sections and bending very SLIGHTLY into lazy arcs, framing and stiffening. It can be held in a bent shape by heating it over a flame: Get it almost to the burning point and then it will bend quite nicely over a form like a can. You can also steam bend it: put a rack in a pot to keep the bamboo out of the water and boil the water with the bamboo in the pot with a cover on it. Once it's steamed for 20 mins it should be quite flexible. Remove and quickly bend over a form and clamp or place it in a jig, until cool

UNLIKE OTHER WOODS, BAMBOO IS SLIGHTLY FLEXIBLE, is high density and has a tensile strength stronger than steel.
