Going to make a boo backed and belly 5 lam bow, thinking about using of coarse 2 lams of boo and 2 lams of locust.  Looking at core parralel of red cedar? Or hackbery? Or pecan?  What do yall think? Trying to use native woods from my camp

Cedar will work, but it's not a very strong wood. But the boo and locust will make up for it.
