Has anyone used redwood lams in a glass bow? I have build glass bows with dozens of different woods with good results. Some of the wood I didn't even know what it was and still don't. Just found some nice straight grain redwood and thought I would give it a try.

I think I remember Big Jim having built a bow with redwood veneers.

Search "redwood burl"- very nice stuff!
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target

Yes, I have used it as veneers but never core. A real pain to use as veneer due to how fragile it is, but it is worth it as the Burl is outstanding!
good luck, bigjim
