what wood to get limbs made of?

[j yenney]

I am getting a Kota kill-um recurve bow made. I need to decide if I would like Yew or bamboo for the limbs. I have no knowledge of which one is better than the other, but would like some input.

thanks

If not tonkin bamboo then go with yew.  Myself, I'd go with yew anyway.

YES! Yew for the limbs and a bamboo core. Have
your cake and eat it too.   :D
