Do these boards have the right grain?

For what? Lams, board bows, something else? Are they oak? What size?

Grain is very straight and the ring orientation isn't too bad. With the rings going through at an angle you may get a bit of limb twist through the draw but that isn't the end of the world overall. Unless you're trying for a world beating flight bow I expect those boards will make decent middle of the road bows. I'd certainly be happy to use them.

Sorry. I am trying to make a bow to hunt with. Board bow. I have some bamboo I was going to back with on one of them. They are red oak.
