Thinking of making a straightening tool like that.
I'm guessing tonkin bamboo is much less hollow than the Korean bamboo arrow canes, so poking holes is unnecessary.
The heatbox looks a lot like what a grill could work as.
DC:
I think the Korean guy is using green(fresh) bamboo. The garden stakes are mostly dry. He has to poke holes it it to let the steam out. Dry ones not so much.
loon:
I guess this is why you keep a wet sponge (or wet ball of paper towels?) around to cool it down?
It still didn't seem to want to bend much, even when burning hot.
It didn't seem to get red like in the pictures. Just slowly blacker and blacker.
This is from the same company mullet got his shafts from, but the western counterpart. Most of them seem like garbage, others seem good but I've broken a few of them so far...
vv It looks significantly more burned in real life.

Um, you may have gotten it too hot, they bend when hot but if you start to caramelize them they harden.
