Qtr. Sawn & Footed risers

[Bryan Adolphe]

Iam thinking this may not be a good idea ? Just finished up my footing jigs and was thinking of laying up a flare with this QS zebra concerned about grain direction .... Your thoughts ?

Ha ive decided its a bad idea and will save it for lams ect.

It would be better the other way.you could rip it and I-beam it or swope ends and glue it back together.

If you cut it up lams those will make pretty high performance limbs with that vertical grain in the core. Some of the fastest long bow limbs I ever built used zebra and paduke cores with Uni carbon back, and glass belly. Smokin!

I think thats the best idea if i was to build one i have a bunch of it so maybe i will beam one and see how it looks ! Thanks!
