RE: What are the top 10 limb core woods????

I like Cedar as a belly on a Hickory backed bow but it must be clear of knots and straight grained. Use only a thin Hickory backing to avoid crushing the Cedar. I always have one of these bows...

RE: What about Risers - What's Best???

RE: Bamboo Limbs???
