Blackheart Sassafras
Posted: Tue Jun 29, 2021 4:14 pm
Recently I was given some milled boards of Blackheart Sassafras and not having experience with this timber as a bow wood I needed to find its mechanical properties.

The Sassafras compares reasonably well to Pacific Yew and hopefully will support a pole bamboo back. I also have some thin strips that could be used under clear glass.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
