Title: Bald Cypress
Post by: D.A. Davis on February 07, 2010, 11:01:00 PM
I've got some bald cypress and was wondering if it can be used as laminations in a riser with maybe red oak or black walnut, and can it be used for veneers in the limbs?

Veneers might work, but I actually know someone who built two laminated longbows with cypress.  One for show and the other to see how long it would take to break.  Didn't take to long from what I understand, but it is pretty!
