Title: Wood choice advice
Post by: Hrothgar on April 16, 2014, 05:30:34 pm

I'm nearly finished with an osage takedown that's lasted all winter and feel the need to get back to some straight white wood. I'm thinking about doing a Wampanoag Sudbury bow using exact dimensions (shooting for 48-50# draw) and have hackberry or white oak to choose from. I was wondering which might be the better wood for this project, advice and opinions welcomed.
Thanks, Eric

I'd go white oak

I think I'd go with the white oak also and I would toast the belly.
