White Oak, linen-backed Mollagabet

<< < (2/2)

El Destructo:
If them are all Runoff's...I think I would at least Back it with Hickory...with my Quartersawn Wood for my paddle Bows...I try to keep my Runoff's to a max of 2-3 per bow...any more than that...I back them with Hickory or Rawhide...I don't trust Cloth....but that just Me........

Josh:
...and with a Mollagabet bow you have such shorter working portions of your limbs it is REALLY going to put a strain on those run offs... more so than with a regular 67" bendy handle bow.  I would definitely back it with some really thin hickory.   :)

Parnell:
I think I'm with ya'll on this.  My gut is telling me the same.  Gotta make a trip up to the hardwood store.
