How import is grain orientation for a backed bow
« on: January 29, 2013, 02:15:52 am »
I have a sassafrass board a friend gave me.  The grain on it is really terrible for a self bow.  Could a make a bow with it if I backed it with hickory?

I wouldnt. Sassafrass is marginal at best when its perfect.
