Question about a cherry stave

(1/1)

Tiredtim:
Hello all.  I am about embark (no pun intended) on making my first cherry bow.  I would like any advice.  Would I need to get rid of all of the sap wood or could I use it for backing? 

PEARL DRUMS:
Post this in the bows section rather than here. This is more of a post a build as you go section. You will get much, much more help in the bows area. The sapwood all stays and by the looks of it your bow will ball sapwood, that's good with cherry as the heartwood is brittle and breaks quite easily.

Tiredtim:
Thank  you.  I just posted it in Bows.
