Backing laminations are cut in 2 sizes, 3/16" x 2" x 72" and 3/16" x 2" x 36" (sent as a pair). Shipping less than three (3) full length wood laminations is difficult. Bamboo can be ordered in 1 1/2" or 2" widths and is suitable for use in backing bows, as a belly core and handle or for building an all-bamboo bow. Rawhide backing comes in a set of 2 pieces, 1 3/4" wide, suitable for backing 1 bow perfectly. It takes about 6 pieces of buffalo sinew to back 1 bow.

Exotic Core Woods Purple Heart $ 25.00 Green Heart $ 25.00 Pau Amarillo (yellow) $ 25.00 Wenge (black) $ 25.00	Boards and Cut Stock Hickory $ 25.00 Maple $ 25.00 Osage Orange $ 40.00 Mulberry $ 40.00
The prices above are for belly cores of at least one bow's width and thickness. Core lengths are cut to order. Generally a pair of 38" matched cores will make a bow or a core of 60" to 70" is used. If you need specific dimensions, please let me know. If you need a handle or wish to buy a decrowned self-stave, please advise.
The imported exotic core woods offer excellent performance when backed with hickory for safety and offer a colorful departure from our more familiar native woods. The grain is very straight on the stock I select and textures vary from dense to super dense. This translates to speed, workability, availability, durability and beauty. If you need exotics for handles and nocks let me know. The list of available species is expanding rapidly so call or write for new additions.

River Cane (for arrow shafts)

$ 15.00/doz

River Cane is a small bamboo which grows in the southern and eastern sections of our country. The local tribes used it for arrow shafting because of its availability, strength and ease with which it can be straightened. Once straightened and dried it is very stable. It can be used with a self nock or you can insert a hardwood plug on either end, creating solid nock and a barreled, footed or weight forward effect. This natural material makes a very durable arrow.

Raw Wood Arrow Shafts

$ 15.00/doz

Premium matched shafts, matched in spine to 5 pounds, matched in weight to 10 grains. Available in Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Oregon Douglas Fir (slightly heavier than cedar and very durable) and Maple (very durable). All arrow shafts are parallel.
