Which type of rings are stronger?

<< < (2/3) > >>

brian melton:

              For yew the wider the better... ::)

Pappy:
I prefer the thin rings on Osage as long as the spring growth is very thin also,the wood seem
to be denser and I have better luck hitting weight,it seems to stabilize better.As far a white wood
I haven't see much difference,I usually pull the bark while the sap is up and never really look at the ring thickness unless I need to chase one. :)

Marc St Louis:
When it comes to Elm I have found that thin uniform rings to be better. American Elm can have coarse rings that waver in size along the woods length going from thin to thick in the space of a few feet.

Coo-wah-chobee:
 Thin rings like Pappy said.bob

George Tsoukalas:
Thick (1/8" or so) or more  is good for BL, if you have a preference. Otherwise take what you can get and learn to overcome. :) Jawge
