Beginner - which tools will i need?
Apprentice:
Ok. I'll return tomorrow and see if they have something thicker. I only looked at the specs on that one so we will see then...

The most important thing to Me about a Board for a Bow is that it is 1/4 Sawn or Rift Cut...and that there is little to no run-off at all....good luck

Quarter sawn or rift cut, is that to make sure the grain is right on the butt end of the board?

I shoot for either one of the two Bottom cuts in the Picture...mainly the Bottom most one....and make sure that you have little to no run off of Grain to the Sides of the Board...this makes for Disaster....JMO

Apprentice:
So aim for the grain to run straight over the butt end like the bottom, and no grain runoff. Got it, thanks
Are the two on top also acceptable or are they how it shouldn't look?
Btw do home depot-style stores generally sell any wax usable for a tillering string?
