Oh, Sorry for the hijack Onebow, my bad

Not at all!  It's all discussion which is what I wanted to see.  :D ;D ;D :)

I am still curious about one thing that has not been discussed - Is there any particular opinions/reasons to contemplate when selecting wood grain for the belly of a LAM bow?  Does grain orientation effect 'crush resistance' or compression strength?

LOL, Don, that might work. I don't know for sure as I have never done it. When I have a violated ring I just chase another. Jawge

OneBow, I have no experience with wood backed bows but my sense is 1/4 sawn by a bit but it probably does not matter all that much.

Would quartersawing be good with a rather large hickory?
