Title: hackberry
Post by: ptberger on March 08, 2026, 07:23:18 PM
I have some hackberry boards left over from another project and was wondering if it would be worth my while to make some laminations from it. Any body have experience with using hackberry to build a bow?

From experience I don't like over .030 for spalted veneers , never used    it for a core. Bow came in a little light with just veneers and boo core . That's all I got...

I've used some spalted Hackberry Veneers .027 Actionboo core. Pretty  cool limbs.
