Well hells bells, there's your common denominator problem for the three boards. Paint your rack purple with orange dots and everything will be fine.

Which direction is the grain (horizontal or vertical)? Bamboo is like oak. It'll suck a lot of water if the end grain is exposed. It's like a pack of drinking straws glued together.

I'll check when I get home. On vacation for a week. We were supposed to go to Yellowstone NP where my daughters were going run a half-marathon, but the event was cancelled. Swapped it for a week in Columbus, OH visiting my son and his GF. Not a bad city. Going canoeing tomorrow. Should be fun.

I just remembered that I forgot to post the solution to the warping issue. It worked for all 3 cutting boards:
Ignore it and it will go away.
One day, maybe a few weeks after the warping suddenly appeared, I pulled out one of the bamboo cutting boards and realized that it was completely flat. I checked the other 2 and they were flat also. Been that way for a couple of weeks now.
We don't know when they flattened out because we've been using other cutting boards. Now we're back to using the bamboo ones.
How come when I ignore most other problems they don't just go away?

OK, I was going to say that as old as this topic is you should have replaced the bamboo cutting boards, watched them warp also, bought replacements again.....
So I would say that one side is absorbing too much moisture. I would apply what ever is recommended to both sides regularly.
Because..........
An old saying about why mechanics drive cars that are clunkers. They know what is wrong and that does not bother them enough to make the repair. It's when you don't know what is wrong that you want to fix it.
