Toxn Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 This has basically been my experience making bows, but red oak is an exotic luxury wood. Jeeps_Guns_Tanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 While I'm bitching: I finally managed to get a long, straight piece of red karee (a local hardwood), split it and discovered that, for some reason, the grain runs in a spiral. This is apparently a thing with some trees. Which was a disappointment, given that I've been waiting on that particular tree to offer up a suitable limb for years now. All of which makes me think that part of the reason for the circular-section tropical longbow might be that there's no point trying to follow grain boundaries when they wrap around the damn log.

Toxn Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 I really like the Mollegabet shape - it's sort of a beta version of a recurve with siyahs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
