wood choices?
« on: February 16, 2013, 10:28:00 PM »
My Dad and I have made several recurves out of action wood. Now I am looking to make a glass laminate longbow. I am going to use curly Bubinga for the limbs but I am trying to decide what would go well for the riser. The riser is going to be a somewhat traditional longbow grip. What woods do you guys recommend.
