Title: Hard or soft maple?
Post by: Appalachian Hillbilly on November 18, 2021, 02:07:54 PM
This will be for core lambs. I saw the millyard had both? Which is preferred for lam cores on a laminated bow?

Hard Maple is the stuff for sure, but some of the other Maples are fine lam woods also. The only one I did not think was any good is Norway Maple. Bue might disagree :biglaugh:

Out west, Big leaf and Mountain Maple make good bow wood.
