Post by: Bvas on February 22, 2019, 05:48:32 PM: I’ve never used spalted wood. My understanding is that the wood has a fungus or is partially decayed.

Will it need to be stabilized?

Post by: kennym on February 22, 2019, 06:02:08 PM: Brad that’s correct but a lot of bows have been built with spalted wood, I’d keep them thin like .030 or less.
