European beech suitable?

<< < (3/6) > >>

FilipT:
We can assume the usual "if you don't see much bows out of it around forums, it's not suitable" or we can experiment with it.

mikekeswick:
Yes the wood is dense and hard but the short fibers thing is not hearsay. Bows made from it tend to break in tension and it doesn't do too well in compression either. Save it for spalting and tool bodies :)

I've made Warbows out of beech and found it a good bow wood!
