Title: R/D Bamboo backed Osage/Bamboo backed IPE or hickory supplier?
Post by: Undomesticated on May 01, 2026, 09:23:48 PM
Hello,

I am interested in finishing out a BBO, BB-IPE, or BB-hickory R/D longbow. I don't have the time or inclination currently to laminate one myself. I have only make self-bows. I do, however, want to start with the best blank available. Tight grained wood backing, good bamboo, good glue line, etc to end up with a bow ai can trust hunting. I was wondering if someone here could point me in the right direction? I've done a bit of searching and came up dry. I'm looking to make a bow that finishes in the 60# range. Thank you much!
