Phyllostachys nigra
Common name: "Black Bamboo"
............

Has anyone ever worked with this type of bamboo? I read it grows on Oregon and Washington. Would it be suitable to use for a Hill style bow? I really like the combination of colors and it's appearance. Thanks and God Bless

If it is large enough to make lams it should work just fine. I don't know how deep the color goes. I assumed it was just the rind or outer portion just below the rind.

You should ask this on the bowyers bench.
