bamboo backing
jturkey:
what is the easiest way to get bamboo planed flat is there a power tool or a hand tool that does this the nodes seem to me to be the problem not being flat on both sides
please help
Pat B:
The first one I did I used a hand plane. After that I would cut most of the excess off with a bandsaw then flatten on a belt sander.
jturkey:
thanks pat b i was trying to figure out the nodes that make sense what grit paper did you use
nativenoobowyer86:
I would recommend something rough at first, to take out the bandsaw marks. And reduce the thickness, then something milder to finish up the final flattening. I did mine entirely with 100 grit after the bandsaw and it took forever. 3+ hours
Gordon:
I use a combination of bandsaw, hand plane and belt sander. Takes me about an hour and a half to prepare a strip for glueing.
