Heavy wood

[Bryce]

I totally agree density does not equal good bow wood.

I've talked about it before. And if you guess it I will let you know if your right:)

Why do I think that we won't see the bow either?

Madrone?

  I have only worked two OS bows, they were both heavier than osage. Very heavy woods commonly are bad about chrysaling OS is not at all bad at anything that I know about, one of the best woods I have ever worked with.

You'll see it when it's all prettied up


Nope not Madrone.


Steve, that OS will sometimes fret around knots but generally there not too severe to throw the bow out.

How about a little insentive. If you guess the wood I will send you a stave
