The new red cedar I cut up here is clean mostly edge grain cut 2" wide by 7/16" to 5/8" thick @ 6' long.One is a clean flat grain @ 11/16" thick though.When I say clean,I mean no knots and straight grain.
I don't mind asking what you've come to for dimensions as far as thickness and length of handle/length of fades etc.if you don't mind telling me.....lol.I'm thinkng around 2" wide at the widest in the working portion.I saw your elm willow leaf molly you came up with for your cousin and it is fantastic to say the least.It held up very well for you.Your going a little bit longer now for a longer draw.I have some winged elm staves from Jon W[who makes this design too] that should be made to this design.Bubby & Danzbar and probably others I'm not mentioning made a mean version of this design too.
