This will be for core lambs. I saw the millyard had both? Which is preferred for lam cores on a laminated bow?

I use hard maple, it should be stiffer.

Hard Maple is the stuff for sure, but some of the other Maples are fine lam woods also. The only one I did not think was any good is Norway Maple. Bue might disagree
Out west, Big leaf and Mountain Maple make good bow wood.
