Favorite SPECIES of bow wood ????
« on: March 15, 2013, 07:27:17 pm »
What's your favorite bow wood ??? Whether it be because of the beauty of the species or the performance I wanna know ... My fav is probably the old yeller wood Osage because it makes real nice bows and it's beautiful wood.

Definitely Yew!..... No Osage!.......Actually Mulberry! You can't ask me to decide this it's too hard! :-\

But if I really had to choose I would say Juniper, More specifically my local One Seed juniper. It grows everywhere, quick dries with no checking, smells wonderful, and in my opinion is the most beautiful wood I have ever worked with.

I tried over a dozen different types of wood and I wouldn't say I have a favorite,just some that I like less.to me it's like saying ,I like pizza,but I wouldn't want to eat it every day.same goes for design.

Well it's not Osage. I think Osage is the worst bow wood out there.
