guys here make bamboo floor bows all the time, super easy. even I made a good one first try (it was my first ever). they do take a little more set but they work fine. you need a backing tho we have found. real bamboo or anything. i leterally roughed it out with a band saw and tillered it with a power sander. backed it with fiberglass drywall tape. probably the easiest stuff to work with ever.
