boo/cane ?????????????

<< < (2/2)

hedgeapple:
Shooter, I was about to ask a similar question about bamboo and cane.  So if it's a silly question, just put me in the same silly boat.  :D
So here's my extention to shooter's question.  Is this native boo/cane used for backing?

Hillbilly:
Hedgeapple, it doesn't usually get to big enough diameters for splitting backing slats from. The biggest native cane I ever heard of was about 3" in diameter, so you could maybe back a narrow ipe bow or something with it. The biggest native cane I've ever seen myself was about an inch in diameter. Most of it here never gets over 1/2"-3/4" diameter.
