Here's the thing, I made it out to several little trad. shoots last year. And some bowyers were there hockin thier goods. I was particularly interested in the self bows. But didn't know really which one was good or bad. There was all kinds of material from oak, to ash, to solid cherry. And others I can't remember. So before I go back and start wheelin and dealing I figured I would know a little more about woods.

But what I think I have found, as everything in life, it depends. Depends on design, length, arrow shot, and even the plain grain of wood used. Guess I will have to make a few mistakes to find what I want.
