Need help deciding core wood

[Mike Mecredy]

I can't argue about hickory, I use it sometimes, especialy if it's got some tight growth rings.  Flat grain even looks good with clear glass too. (no veneers required)

It's all about the bowyer and how the bow/limbs are made/tillered.

Truer words have not been spoken

The fact still remain; some species  of wood are better than other species of wood when it comes to making good bow limbs.

How much better is the question.

Better at what?
Speed? Smoothness? Quietness?

The topic is open to debate as much as "which is the best broadhead?".  Just about any wood will make a bow. Especially when sandwiched between fiberglass. Some woods may excel in certain categories or in certain bow designs.

Finding the perfect wood for the perfect design is like searching for the holy grail. Kinda hope I never find the grail.  I'm havin too much fun on the search.
