I pretty much follow Jim's techniques.

However, one useful midification I made to the bamboo tongs is that I 
drill a small hole thru the plastic end which holds the bamboo, 
and then screw in a small stainless screw. The screw goes through 
both bamboo slabs, and  keeps them from falling out after they shrinks a bit.
