I would try a few different finishes. If the Bamboo is going to be out doors, finish accordingly. You can get crystal clear Urethane as well as Shellac, Lacquer and finishes like that from your local Home Depot or similar stores. Just wipe the piece off with a damp rag of lacquer thinner, let it dry and try a section. mark it with a marker so you know what the finish is and in a day or 2 try a different section. It may be expensive to buy several different finishes, but when you are done you can cover the whole bunch with the finish that worked out the best. Hope this helps.
