: Then it's bonded into whatever using glues that are activated by
: heat and or pressure. What you get is something that is as much
: glue as bamboo.

Good point.

Just as it's not a good idea to make cutting boards from plywood or MDF,
because of the high formaldehyde glue content, be careful using such
processed bamboo that will come in contact with food.
