Title: Robustus~ bamboo sandwich limbs?
Post by: Prarie Bowyer on September 05, 2011, 05:10:23 am

Hi,

I saw a post the other day here about bamboo backed bows with bamboo bellies that were made by Robustus.  I'm unable to find the post now.  There were pictures of beautiful bamboo R/D bows.  Anyone know where that post is?  If there is a build along for something like that I would be tickled.

Thanks,
PB

James - I know you are a sponsor here, but I've tried a couple times to check out your website and it doesn't seem to be up.  Do you have plans on bringing it back online?  Just curious.

The dark side is all fun.  The Sith only lost becasue Vader was a sappy puts.  When I graduated from little economist school I tried to figure out how to join the dark side. . . . but it was too crowded.  Hey If I'm gong to spend that kind of money for a bow. . . I want one that will last. 

The more primative bows I make the more I'm begining to think that there was a clear reason Bear, and Hill were fast to start incorporating that other material.

Yea I want to see more of your bows!  THAT is the kind of bow I'd like to make.  I got into this whole thing over a Konrad Voegle bow I saw on Youtube (Bow Aragon was the title).  I origianly wanted a cheap stick that would fling a bow at some carp after loosing my pole spear.  Are you willing to answer questions on the process?  But I do miss the time in the woods.

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to make the belly boo go from tip to tip also.  Or should it end at the handle to relieve stress?
