Title: Boo backed Ipe
Post by: JW_Halverson on August 03, 2021, 11:40:45 pm

I got myself a prime piece of ipe and I think I wanna back it with bamboo. Where are people sourcing their bamboo backing, preferably one that has been thinned already?

I recently got some very nice Madake bamboo backing strips from Jaap Koppendrayer.
