Splicing billets the easy way
Badger:
I did a couple of lemonwood bows earlier this year, I was expecting the wood to be denser and heavier than it was, not sure if mine was from cuba or mexico, I understnd their is a big difference. Steve
Roger:
Cool Steve. What design did you use with them? I'm thinking flatbow, 67" long 1 1/8" wide 2/3 the limb length with a straight taper to the tips. I have some killer Boo' but was thinkin hickory might be a better choice for the backing. These seem very dense with no noticable growth rings.

Hi all,
I have a question regarding spliced Staves that has been bothering me for a while now:
Do you use spliced staves for selfbowa also or only for backed bows?
It seems to me that the splice in a selfbow will have to resist a lot of stress.
Any experience?
Greetings
Radon
