Hey Bryce,

What'ya planning with the Sitka Spruce....?

I've been thinking about it a lot as well... super light, but very strong. Might make good siyahs or outer limb laminations.

It's awesome compression wood. I've seen self bows in museums made of Sitka spruce and black spruce.
My plans for it is a short sinew backed recurve.
