As far as Bamboo goes ready to glue up Echo archery has really nice Bambo specially selected for node placement its owned by Carson a sponsor here, as far as hickory I dont know I just make my own ! Also carson sells the unprocessed bamboo slats which is what I buy you can processe them your self & save money !

I think 3Rivers has hickory backing but it's expensive to ship. Mike Yancy has it also I believe. Mike might be willing to cut it in half so it would cheaper to ship. You can joint it at the handle with a simple overlay for strength.
 Any of the common glues will work; TB glue, Unibond, Weldwood plastic resin, etc.

I have hickory, maple and bamboo backings. Sinew and rawhide if you want that.

Thanks
