Title: Dale Dye
Post by: tyson216 on January 02, 2026, 06:02:52 AM
Just curious if anyone knows the species of wood Dale used for his limb veneers. It's seems like he use the same wood on all his bow limbs but can't figure out what it is. Mostly just curious.

Dale called it medicine wood but I think it was actually cross cut Red Elm.
