Has anybody used leopard wood as a belly wood with a hickory or bamboo backing? I have a nice board and was wondering about compression strength. Thanks
I cut a half dozen laminations and tapered them for a glass bow. Beautiful wood. None past the bend test, every one of them snapped. I tossed the board.
Thanks, I just use it for handle and nock overlays
Good handle wood. No good for bending due to very inconsistant 'grain'. It works as a veneer under clear glass.
