Great bows love the contrast between the sapwood and heartwood

Nat, that's even better: I live an hour south of Cologne; near Euskirchen.
Where exactly are you??

Nice bows, I have a billet of Laburnum, a bit short with a little twist, might splice up to make a bow , or maybe a crossbow prod to go in an all wood primitive crossbow.
So many bows...so much wood...so little time.

I would say leave the sapwood on if you can, if you debark cover with the back with cling film to stop checking. Mine is only an inch thick at the widest and it pulls 70#. I think any design would work with this stuff, you just need less of it. It responds well to heat correction, I did not heat treat mine. In my opinion this stuff should be rated up there with yew and osage as premium bow wood. And when you start looking the stuff is everywhere! Good hunting!
