I will finally be starting a new bow for myself this weekend. My form is a binghams 60" recurve. I have some figured cherry I want to use for veneers under clear glass. I also have available cherry, hard maple, red elm, and jatoba. Any suggestions for the core lams. How about riser? I only have enough figured cherry for one bow, maybe two. Would like to to get a knockout on the first try.
I have used cherry as a core wood in recurves and worked out great. I like a dark colored riser with cherry.
