Bamboo scrimbers (BCs) with excellent performances were made from Bambusa rigida (2 to 5 years old). It was found that BCs made from 3-year-old bamboo have the smallest thickness swelling (TS) and width swelling (WS). BCs prepared from 4-year-old bamboo has the maximum compressive strength (CS) and horizontal shear strength (HSS). The maximum modulus of rapture (MOR) and modulus of elastic (MOE) of BCs were observed in BCs made from bamboo with age of 5 years. Overall, the resin dosage of 11% was optimized to fabricate BCs with different maturing bamboo culms; 4-year-old bamboos were recommended to be used as the raw material for the production of BCs.
