Hello all. I thinkin I'm gonna start work on my first bamboo backed osage bow. My question is where do you guys get your bamboo? I think I want it in raw form so I can flatten and taper myself for the experience. Any suggestions will be awesome!
Mike @ Pine Hollow Longbows has it and he is a sponsor.
x2 with Pine Hollow Longbows. I would suggest to get the already flatten kind. I have used both raw and the flatten and it will save you a ton of time. You still have to taper it yourself with the flatten kind but it seems though that it is much better quality and the nodes seemed to be spaced out better on them. Just my two cents is all.
X3 on pine hollow. Where are you in AR, mj? Mike Yancy's shop wasn't hard to find when I passed through last summer. And Mike's great to deal with.
