Look what I found in the woods
« on: August 14, 2013, 06:12:00 PM »
I believe this is my first post on this board. However, I have been lurking for the past couple of months. I've done a few board bows that have turned out fairly nice. Now I would like to try a bamboo backed ipe.

Anyways this is what I took out of the woods today.

Pretty small in diameter, borderline for bow backing although it will work for a narrow bow.

There are some patches of timber bamboo near Anderson, Greenwood, Abbyville area. Some of it is up to 6" in diameter.

I would guess that is what this is. The one piece I cut was probably 50' tall and it wasn't the largest. This grove is at least 4 acres.
