Bamboo.

Oh cool I wonderd for some time how the boolams in the cazadors limbs get this nasty look ty-
but for a backing I would worry about the influence on the boo through that heat treatment, but if it still works you`ve done the right job!

Dave ya need to work on that bow or it might break at those hinges. If ya can't take wood off the belly, then  narrow the limbs a little at a time equally on each side.

Thanks Roy. I'll be scraping and sanding in those areas.
