Thompson, I think,  mentions how good Eastern red cedar backed with hickory is. I've never tried it. Jawge

Jackcrafty, tried to send pm also.  I have a load of sinew and would be looking to trade a bunch for some straight/clean white oak or hickory.

For the longest time the only thing I could get my hands on were red oak boards from Lowes. Now the wood has started trickling in and I can't keep up with it!

In board form I have:
red oak
hickory (complete boards and backers)
cherry (ripped into belly lams)
pine heartwood (just have to try it!)
black walnut
maple
white ash
red elm

My stave collection includes:
apple, staves and billets
a couple pear branches
a couple peach branches
persimmon
hickory

That's a lot of wood to break... I mean make into bows  >:D

not all mine, and not all seasoned. collecting staves is like making bows-a never ending process.
