I appreciate this post on how to split dried bamboo. My goal is to make some frames out of dried bamboo, but I am not sure how to do this without splintering the wood...and cutting across the outside grain for the miters. I have thought of cutting two pieces in a curve fashion so they drape over the other two, but I know how conventional saws splinter wood.
Any suggestions on how to do this and which tools would be best?

there are special hand saws for cutting bamboo without splintering it. if you google bamboo saw, you'll find several on line places that carry them. read about them and they make a selection.........i have one and it works well. hope this helps.

what kind of knife is the first one and where can i buy one??

that is a window glazing knife, it was given to me, i don't know where to buy them. any knife made with a thick metal blade is best, it doesn't need to be very sharp, the splitting is done with the thick metal blade wedging against the two parts of the bamboo, it doesn't cut through them except at the beginning of the split.

if you start a split with a sharp knife and then insert a smooth piece of metal such as a screw driver shaft, then force that shaft down the split to complete the job, it works great.

Thanks, this is so helpful. I used to make Chinese Lanterns. I wanted to get started again but couldn't find anywhere to buy bamboo splits in the US. I'll have to give this a try. Thanks so much :).
