Bamboo is one of the tough materials to use, as @cggorman points out and people with co2 machines have some difficulty with it. I don’t use as the results are not what I can accept.
Doesn’t mean you can’t, just that even with more power it’s not a laser friendly type of material.
Most videos you find will be for co2 lasers with at least 40W… but I know of this one I stumbled across and it may be useful. I believe there is a video on the site also… I think he actually grew some of it…
