Thanks guys, Just a little update. I've actually found two sources for bamboo. the river cane seems and looks to be the better choice, but I found some larger boo I went ahead and cutt. I spent all afternoon cutting the limbs off and prepping them for straightening and sanding. About... I'd say roughly 100 or so pieces.
For the guys who bought the boo from "oulay", I have a 40# @28" longbow, I havn't found a arrow correctly spined for it yet. Just wondering what you would suggest on spine weight from him? I tried full length 1535 and they were weak, Shot 500 (some type of carbon) full length with 125 heads and they shot like darts. I didn't get the name of them, they belonged to a guy we shot with last weekend, I forgot to ask.
Once I get a few down, I'll go ahead and start a seperate thread/build along and show what I've found out crafting them, so far, I'm stoked!
Thanks for the help guys
