I am planning another Bamboo backed bow using osage or Ipe as the core wood. Will mahogany work as a power lam material?

Thanks

Should be fine. I just glued up a tri-lam with cypress for the center core. I don't think the material matters much. Just don't use balsa!

Thanks Apex! Sounds like you got the bug! I'm getting it back!

Any luck getting in FLETC ?
