What to do with boo?
« on: January 07, 2013, 12:04:00 AM »
So I broke my ipe as I stated in another post and have a flattened piece of boo with nothing to glue it to. What other cheap readily available wood could I use. I'm in Canada and Osage is impossible to get for a decent price the only cheap wood is maple, red oak or maybe hickory. Would any of those work?

That's very generous of you Tenbrook, my grain was good I think my end posts might have been a little high I had them 3.25" higher than mid posts. And my ipe may have been too thick it was 1/2" at flares tapering to 3/8" . Anyway I will let you know how things go on my end and thanks a lot for the offer!!

Good man tenbrook!

If you have any more boo, you can make a trilam with boo on the belly too!  Then use maple (or almost anything) for your core wood.

Schmidster, that sucks about your ipe!    :mad:  

Tenbrook, you da man!!! Good on you, sir!   :clapper:    

You could go with hickory, so long as the boo is thin enough to not overpower it. Just a suggestion, but I would look into getting another piece of ipe, and make what you wanted to in the first place.

Either way, you still should get a shooter, so enjoy the ride!
