Just choose a nice dense wood that you like.

Most of us here buy our stuff from Kenny.

Real nice guy with very high quality wood and lams at a extremely fair price.  What more could you ask for!

Hope this helps.

Kennys the goto around here for your materials.   He will be able to send you the whole Kit.   Batteries not included and some assembly required.  LOL

I have used Kenny for most of my stuff.  His stuff is great quality.  I just glued up a bow with lams from a different supplier and its a good thing I double checked them as they were off on thickness.

Another side benefit is that it seems the packing strips he uses are usually something pretty darn useful.

No chance of Kenny selling beer, he would drink it all himself:)

Just started my first bow and John from OMC has been awesome. I think he and Kenny are probably the best out there
