Title: How import is grain orientation for a backed bow
Post by: hedgeapple on January 29, 2013, 02:15:52 am

I have a sassafrass board a friend gave me.  The grain on it is really terrible for a self bow.  Could a make a bow with it if I backed it with hickory?

I wouldnt. Sassafrass is marginal at best when its perfect.
