It is a bamboo product,think the guy told me it is strand woven. Thought it looked cool,so I ordered a pc. to fool with.
 
 Made a couple .055 lams from it,it doesn't bookmatch very well(or that pc didn't anyway). Still looked cool in 1.5" wide tho.Wish I'd taken a pic of that.

 Did some impromptu tests on it in the shop,the pc. tested is a fuzz stiffer and a fuzz heavier than actionboo.

Am gonna try to talk my bro into buildin his new bow out of it and checkin draw weight and performance difference on it compared to this one!  :bigsmyl:

AARRRGGHHH. I thought I had something special. I just bought this Marblewood board for the lams on me new Silvertip. I've never seen it used on a bow before. I fell in love with it when I first saw it. Thought I was going to have a one of a kind!!    :banghead:
