Hi Fearn, long time...no hear
I think we are 'in agreement' about this particular bow and arrow 'set'. I have not seen , so far, an African bow constructed of bamboo.....often bamboo is used as a laminate with other woods......my experiance still points to Asia ....where bamboo (self bows- a bow constructed of one material) were fairly common.
