Now then , for a swap bow a few years back, I made some pretty fast tapers of walnut and some of maple and put them together running opposite and then resawed for core lams. Walnut to tips and maple to center.
The recipient told me it was the fastest bow he owned. Probably just bein nice tho... :)

Different grain , wondering how much difference grain makes.

Then clamped to bench with exactly 18" over the end. Measured to a pc of plywood laid on floor . Using the same 2" spring clamp on the end of each one I compared the first measure of each one to the weighted measure.
The results were about as expected, and not enough to make a lot of difference sandwiched in glass.

I wonder which sample would return to neutral the fastest and take the least amount of set after prolonged loading.

Have a spine tester I built for wood arrows with a dial indicator to check deflection in thousandths(gasp Roy) that I may try to use to check center deflection...

Sure I took night classes 2 months ago to learn the decimal system and now ya change back to thousands?
I'll hafta go back to school and learn thousands again now:)

It would be interesting to see how much difference there is between different spots measured on a single sample with the spine tester.

Did ja study decibels to Roy cause I hear Kenny laffin all the way here in Indiana :laughing:

I am surprised the flat grain deflected that much over the edge grain.
I just finished 3 hill style bows with 4 laminations of tapered edge grain maple and they honestly shoot very good as compared to a couple of nice custom bows I have had for years. I was surprised, I bought the maple stock because it was cheap and ground my own laminations.
