Erminio...
Sharp bits... keep em moving! For profile we have better luck with O flutes than Compression or end mill. Watch the grain change as chipping will happen.

Thanks Gary
That's what I thought,just wanted to confirm

cutting to shape a downcut bit works great I just cut 5 sheets. but if you want a smooth cut it is best to do a cleanup pass. bamboo tends to not cut smoothly.
the ply can warp too when vcarving if you remove much surface material.
Thanks for the additional advice,Steve.
I'll be cutting some today.
