maple backing
« on: May 31, 2008, 11:53:17 pm »
What are everyone's thoughts on maple backings? What about with osage?
I have some beautiful 3/16" maple backing strips, with perfect straight longitudinal grain. No run off.

Ive backed black locust with it before which was a excellent combonation. Never tried it with osage but I don't see why it wouldnt work if the grain is as good as you say. Try it, and let us know your results.
Its November, I'm gone hunt'in.......
Osage is still better.....
