Title: bloodwood & redoak riser
Post by: Jeff Gibbs on September 23, 2013, 02:33:00 PM
I am working on my first bow a 3 piece takedown and the grain pattern of the red oak is perfect with no run off but the woods grain is running in multiple directions. Should I be concerned about a limb to the face?

The bloodwood will strengthen it well. Just put the oak with the edge grain running back to belly.
