White Oak Belly Stave - B
White Oak Belly Stave - B
This stave is chosen with a clear purpose: laminated bow construction where backing does the heavy lifting.
The grain orientation is slightly less than self-bow perfect, making it an ideal candidate for pairing with a hardwood or bamboo backing. In this role, it offers excellent performance, efficient material use, and dependable results without sacrificing integrity.
Dimensions:
-
66" overall length
-
1½" wide
-
7/16" thick
One end shows a ¼" split-off that feathers out within approximately 9 inches (visible in the photos). This does not compromise its suitability for a backed bow and is easily managed during layout and limb design.
One face has been smoothed and prepared for glue-up, reducing prep time and ensuring strong, consistent adhesion during lamination.
For bowyers building backed designs who value practical material selection over cosmetic perfection, this stave is a reliable, efficient foundation for a strong and well-behaved bow.
