Stock options........................

Nope, not a Wall St. thread........LOL

I was looking at some laminated stock manufacturers the other day and came across one that offered Bamboo.

I guess I never thought of Bamboo as a usable wood product in the shooting industry. I have in recent yrs replaced all my cooking utensils (wooden spoon, etc) with bamboo because it is safer and holds up much better.

I know it is a very strong and tight grained wood, but also very one dimensional when it comes to grain though. From what I saw on the site I was looking at, it come in two colors only (light & carmel)

They stated they are very light weight, yet strong as iron, with almost no effect from the elements.

Just thought I would throw the info. out here for something new to talk about, it's been a long winter........LOL

Bamboo is one of the strongest wood. I don't know how it would look on a rifle though.

Like I stated in my original post, it is really plain looking. But, for someone looking to camo paint or do one of those poly coat jobs, it would be the ticket.

Interesting,wouldn't have thought of Bamboo as a rifle stock.
