Does Anybody Have Lemonwood?

(1/1)

WoodBenderDW:
I'm hoping to make a bow out of lemonwood.  Ideally, I would like something at least 1-1/4" wide by 1-1/4" thick by at least 72" long.  I would like to try to make the bow that Howard Hill describes in Hunting The Hard Way.  Since, lemonwood is hard to find, I was hoping that someone might be able to help me out.  Send a pm or post and perhaps we can figure something out.  Alternately, does anyone know where in Ontario Canada I might be able to find it?

mullet:
Hard to come by. It grows in Cuba. You might be able to find it at a wood store in Canada.

Marc St Louis:
I've never seen it advertized in any of the specialty wood store in Ontario.  A&M Woods has the biggest selection in Canada but it doesn't carry it.

Cameroo:
Not sure if you have any Windsor Plywood stores around there, but I've seen it there before.

ajbruggink:
Barebow Archery's website barebowarchery.com says they have lemonwood staves, the only measurement I remember is 82" in length. The cost is 40 pounds (they're in the United Kingdom), I don't know if they'd ship to North America, but it doesn't hurt to try. Hope this helps.
