Pre-Tapered Select Bamboo Backings

Less preparation - More building.

Save time and energy with a Meadowlark Pre-Tapered Select Bamboo Backing. We prepare the backing for you, delivering a ready-to-apply strip with no additional backing preparation required—so you can move directly to planning your glue-up.

Careful preparation is essential to a successful bamboo backing. This offering combines our Select bamboo with professional tapering, giving you the confidence of a backing prepared with the attention to detail your bow deserves.

Why choose pre-tapered?

• Save valuable shop time
• Reduce effort 
• Start with carefully prepared bamboo
• Enjoy widely spaced nodes: Only four nodes remain after final trimming and preparation.

Selected for compatible bow designs

These backings are an excellent option for suitable longbow layouts and composite bows with a captive riser enclosed within the laminations—including bamboo back-and-belly designs. Basically anything that doesn't require a power lam.

Available sizes

Choose from 66″, 68″, or 70″ lengths, measured tip to tip.
