google it,you'll find a lumber supply nearby...especially in ct :)   Were you trying to bend 3/4" stock?? If so the run off wasn't going to be your only issue...maybe to thick,pics can be deceiving tho!!

 Gl on your wood search and maybe think Hickory(shes awful forgiving),Ron

No she was about 1/2 thick at that point, probably pulling 50ish pounds at full draw which for me is about 27" for the couple times i shot her it was pretty strong, put an arrow almost all the way through my target :D but I have bow 2 getting the Riser glued on so i should be able to start work on that tomorrow.

That stinks but it happens. I have started 5 board bows and finished 1 that was pretty good. Finding I good piece is a jo in its own.

15DLongbow - I dont live all that far from you.  If you want to take a trip, and would like to try working on a stave, I would be happy to give you one to work on if you come for a visit.  PM if you are interested.
