Bamboo backing supplier?
« on: November 26, 2009, 01:41:58 am »
I have a few board bows under my belt but now I'm wanting to play around with some bamboo backings. I've seen some guys recommending this supplier mastergardenproducts as a good place to get raw bamboo. Of course you still need to plane it down, but it's my understanding (and experience) that no one really sells glue-up ready boo backing strips anyway. This stuff seems like a really good deal in that you can get a LOT of boo to work with, relatively cheaply. Has anyone used this source or perhaps have a good alternate source to try? I'd like to get several pieces - probably a dozen or more, so it doesn't pay to be shelling out $20+ per piece of boo.

I get my bamboo slats from Cali Bamboo in California. I've been very satisfied with their product.

I can tell you that the boo from David Knight is of excellent quality.  It is ready to glue up, flatten and tapered and all.  You can't go wrong going through him.

 I get mine from David Knight, you can't go wrong. And if it does, David makes it right.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
