« on: November 22, 2011, 02:22:57 pm »
I've found a number of resources that are European.
eg:
BUT:  not so much stateside (USA).

Looking for 78" to 80" bamboo.  Intending to build a lemonwood or Ipe main warbow.

Best Regards,
James

There is a chap over on PP that does bamboo I think he has a Chinese connection, I think his name is markinengland mite be worth sending him a pm. Or a google search of garden bamboo suppliers I am sure they are about.

It's certainly not 'period', but bamboo makes an excellent backing for heavy weight bows. It's probably the strongest tension material there is for backing a bow.

If you're looking for bamboo backing strips, try David Knight at www.primalneedarchery.com. He's a paid advertiser on PA, and has excellent bow making materials.

I've ordered from David Knight before and when I needed 76" boo for my warbow I got it from Richard Saffold.
