what wood to get limbs made of?
« on: January 22, 2007, 06:42:00 PM »
I am getting a Kota kill-um recurve bow made. I need to decide if I would like Yew or bamboo for the limbs. I have no knowledge of which one is better than the other, but would like some input.

thanks

YES! Yew for the limbs and a bamboo core. Have
your cake and eat it too.   :D
