I'm planning to have a go at making a pyramid board bow in the next few weeks and I would prefer to use native hardwoods rather than cheap smelly imports (like me) . Anyone have any ideas what the best timbers are? I know spotted gum is one but any others too (particularly Victorian species).
Cheers
