Title: Trade Offering: Bamboo and Ipe
Post by: tenbrook on January 16, 2012, 11:51:41 am
I have some VERY high grade Bamboo and Ipe I would like to trade.

The Ipe is hand selected by me.  I usually go through hundreds of boards before I find just the right one.  The grain will be very straight and the wood nice and dense.  They are cut into 72"x 1.25"x 3/4" pieces.  These pieces are a full 3/4+" thick giving you enough wood to do 1-2 BBI bows depending on the desired draw weight.

The Bamboo is the Highest Grade Bamboo Slats they sell and a full 8' x 2".  I will chose the best 72" (based on node placement) and cut before shipping.

The picture is just some of my supply.  I have a TON of this stuff.

Thanks!  ;)

I would love some bamboo, but I don't have any staves for ya. I think I remember somebody a while back looking for bamboo backing longer than 72", for backing a warbow. I think it was fishfinder, I think. Maybe he'll be interested.

I think you need to get in touch with him in an email, he won't be back on for at least 30 days.

What kind of bamboo is it?  Tonkin? Moso? Other?  I have vine maple staves and possibly one or two Hazel wood/Filbert staves I may be willing to trade for some bamboo/Ipe.

I forgot to ask if your boo was already planed or not.  Anyway, here is the stave I had in mind.  75" long,  2 1/2" wide at the narrowest .  Some small pin knots, but otherwise pretty clean.

Cody,
I'll be posting pics at the end of the week of the bow I made out of the Ipe you sent me a few weeks back.  Appreciate it.  Might need to get a few more pieces of that sometime soon.
