Title: BigJim is now a smooth on account! bamboo too
Post by: BigJim on December 06, 2019, 11:22:55 AM

Hey ya'll, I just wanted to let you know that I will now be selling smooth on in gallon kits as well as the pints and quarts we did before. I have obtained an account with smooth on to be able to do so.

Along with the other bow building items that we cary, we now offer BearPaw glass and within the next couple months should have vertically laminated bamboo planking.

Check us out for your bow building needs.
Thanks, BigJim

This sounds good. Any idea what the Bambbo will cost?

Well Crooked Sticks, it remains to be seen. However, I won't be investing in to a huge supply of bamboo unless it meets my quality criteria or to where I can't sell it for a reasonable price.
By the way, I now have an ample supply of black and brown beaver tail in stock.... the nicest tails i've seen in a while.

Thanks, BigJim

Northwest bamboo is the last place Me and Herway got bamboo. Good quality but the shippng is a killer. I can avoid the shipping by letting you bring it to Tradfest or Cloverdale.  :)

Yep, I used to get my Bamboo from Northwest Bamboo and had them cut the sheets in 1/2 length ways and crossways. They had good quality stuff. I would be interested in trying some down the road.

One stop shopping when paying shipping is a good thing.

Just received my bamboo samples. They are outstanding. Won't be long before I have this available. Hardware also on order (threaded td inserts, brass allen head bolts, alignment pins, washers, small and large bezels).
Thanks, BigJim
