I'm not an expert on bamboo per say, but I think the jig idea is your best bet, you can also build a steam box (build wood box around jig, rig up hose attachment from box to something like an electric kettle, make sure kettle never runs out of water haha.. voila, heat and steam makes things bend.) This worked for a girl in my 2 year sculpture class who bent wood to make a frame for this little canoe thing she made.. You really don't want to leave this contraption unattended for long periods of time though..
