All bamboo bow

[JamesV]

I would like to build a laminated R/D longbow from natural bamboo slats. Is there a buildalong or any thought you guys have, thanks

Hi James,

Nick did one last year. It was for a recurve though, but I'm sure you could use it for R/D. His user name is Dutchwarbow if you do a search for him I'm sure you'll find it. I'll check for it in the mean time.

Hi James,

This is the first one he did, with dimensions, the info afterwards in the comments is useful. I'll post the buildalong next.

Thanks for the information Pete. Will be a big help when I get time to start this project. Got one kids bow and a wife bow first.              

                       Thanks again,
