Wood statistics. What matters?

<< < (2/2)

willie:
MOE or stiffness is a useful quality to keep in mind. It is loosely associated with density, but both can vary.

Most important is elasticity, which sadly, is not well reported in the test data. An elastic wood like yew can build a superior bow to most woods in spite of its lighter density and stiffness.
