Swamp, I think anything that will be wide enough once the belly is flattened will be fine. Justin

Thanks Justin, that's what I was looking for.  I wonder if there is that "perfect" species, grown on such and such hill that is ideal.  Good to know that people are just using what is at hand right now that is the right physical size.  Might be a fun project down the road to experiment with.

I think the fun of making a bow is in the "trying" of new or local materials. If I had that bamboo locally I would try it for backing and also try an all bamboo laminated ELB. Let us know how it works out. 8)
