Hi everyone, this is my last bow i made, it's been a wile since i start looking for materials, specialy bamboo. The entire bow it's made with bamboo, 6 stripes for the core, back and belly.
gluing the core

Mr Dady-

 I was wondering how thick the core of the bow turned out to be, what size strips did you use in the core, and could you post some of your dimensions? I am wanting to make a yumi as a wedding present and was also thinking all bamboo. Also did you have to tiller the bow before you put the belly on or did you tiller the belly at the end?
