Just curious, could you use a piece of red oak between two pieces of hickory? Would that even be considered a trilam. Not to worry I just ordered the complete TBB set from 3rivers.
Yes! :)
hickory isn't a great bellywood unless you live somewhere very dry.
Hickory isn't all that good in compression. Yes it would be a trilam.
Roy, or anyody else for that matter :)
i have a friend that wants to build a flat bow ,tri-lam, what would you recommend for dimensions and tapers on the core etc.
hes aiming at #50 probably in the 66" range.
just as a kickoff
