Hello all
I'm in the process of getting together different woods to form the laminates in a longbow stave - I want to move away from the usual and try some more exotic and hopefully aesthetically pleasing and useable longbow.
So does anyone know of a site or have personal knowledge into the properties of woods with regard to the back belly and core for compression and tension.
I have Rosewood, Tulipwood, Ebony, Wenge, Padouk, in mind with some others I have already researched any help or ideas welcome many thanks ~Shaun
