A better laminate.
Lighter and strong.

Bamboo? I would worry about being atacked by voraciously hungry Panda Bear wanting my stock for dinner.

"Panda Express" gun.

Fly rods are made out of SPLIT bamboo, does that tell you anything?

I installed laminated bamboo flooring in my bedroom. It is tongue and groove, 1/2 inch thick. This stuff is tough! I wondered if you could laminate it thick enough, would it work for a gunstock. I guess it will!

Amazing stuff. I lived for 35 years in regions that used bamboo for almost anything - even cooking utensils! I even own a tribal bow & arrow set where everything including the bow string is made from bamboo.

This gun stock looks very interesting. I wonder how they prevent any slivers from sticking you as it wares down.

I don't think I like the look of Bamboo on a rifle stock but that's just me. They make a really nice myrtle stick. 3rd rifle down.

I like the company, they made me a really nice pecan stock. They had one available and sent me a pic of the blank. It was really interesting. The rifle turned out great IMO. Pic below. If you decide to do it, they are a good company that makes great stocks.

I have several shirts made of bambo. Very cool in the summer.

Howard Hill Archery makes long bows from bamboo laminates, so it must be pretty tough and flexible.
