Cutting bow cores!
«
on:
September 28, 2010, 05:23:00 PM »
I've recently gotten permission to harvest some 4-12" Maple and ash, and possibly Laburnum as well.
In addition to making some staves, I'd also like to make veneers, risers and limb-cores of the trees I get.
However I do not know what makes a peice of wood suitable for use as core-material in a RD longbow!
Do any of you have any pointers for which pieces I should make into cores?
Thanks, SveinD

Maple is always a good choice. Haven't heard of using ash and I don't know what laburnum is. Good luck

Laburnum is also known as Gold-Chain, similar characteristics to Yew
