Alright guys I have a few bamboo questions. I never thought I'd be able to find anything close to bow making size here but it looks like one of the local Big Box stores has some in the garden section.
First off diameter: What is a realistic minimum diameter, these ones appear to be 3-5"
Second price: They want $8 for about a 6-8' section, too much?
Lastly: Do you split it or cut it into strips? It's already dry and some pieces appear to be splitting on their own.
I've got some Ipe coming end of the week and I'd just love to try for a heavy weight with this stuff. I was going to do hickory backing but this boo has me thinking.
Cheers,
Grant
