Renacs:
  Hello everyone.  As I gather my resources while working out of time. I figured I can start working on the wood core for a magyar. Can you give me the ruff dimensions and a pic of what I might be shooting for?
                                       Thanks joe

Tc:
limb thickness: 1 cm
limb width: 4 cm
But you should really get Karpowicz's book somehow (resource nu.1) to avoid traps.....good luck!

Renacs:
Thanks for the pics. I'm going to try to hunt his book down. Hopefully in english

Renacs:
And another question. Is maple the preferred core wood then? Or basically and quality white wood?

mikekeswick:
Hard maple with the straightest grain you've ever seen and it's best flat sawn.  :)
