Title: Air dry vs Kiln dry
Post by: Full Draw Too on July 07, 2017, 10:53:00 AM

Ok Guys, Where is a good wood source AND does it matter if wood is Kiln dried or not? also, how important is it to have a moisture meter?

IMO, dry is dry. Are you building a glass bow or wood bow?
 I only build wood bows and don't have a moisture meter but others swear by them.
 As far as a source for wood it depends of whether you are building a glass or wood bow.

Does not matter for board bows.  Jawge
