Bamboo bending involves softening bamboo fibers using heat, water, or kerfing to make it pliable. Steam or heat sources are applied to the bamboo, allowing it to be bent into various shapes. The bending process requires careful preparation, including measuring, cutting, and softening the bamboo. By using bending jigs or molds, the bamboo is bent and cooled slowly to maintain its desired shape. Bent bamboo finds applications in furniture, architecture, musical instruments, and decorative items. Understanding the techniques and choosing the appropriate method ensures successful and versatile bamboo bending.
