I am new to bow making, and trying to read wood grain. Been in metal work since I was 12, but there is no grain involved in that.


Ill make a short video later on today or tomorrow showing you why I marked where I did on the bow.

Oh cool, thanks, that will be much appreciated. Also to be clear, I wasn't intending any attitude either, just genuine curiosity. I will probably use it to make a staff sling/walking stick, and practice making a bow handle for the handle of the walking stick.
