Title: Mimosa
Post by: WolfPupTee on September 26, 2011, 02:48:25 pm

Hi guys. I have a stave of mimosa. I've read some previous posts on this wood but it was only mentioned in passing. Is it typically good or bad as a bow wood? Seems like people say that it's too brittle to make a good bow. Advice?
