Does the orientation of the grain matter for strength, or is all the strength provided by the metal band? I'm no woodworker but I would think it would be stronger rotated 90, but it must be all in the band yeah?
@@rv4tyler Black locust! Aye. A rarity in itself where I come from (SE Alaska.) In my younger years I seined salmon every summer and one of the best seiners I ever fished on had a massive black locust bow stem. Extremely hard and durable.

What kind of wood did you use for this brilliant job? Your gouges cut it like butter without splintering!
Ideally, Lignum Vitae but it's not widely available.
@@scottcates Ah, those were the days. Used it in shaft logs and other bearings once upon a time.
Knowing I could not acquire enough Lignum Vitae, I am trying this with Black Locust blocks.

Neat! I am curious why the holes are burned out?
To make them smooth and eliminate all the sharp edges
Brilliant stuff. I need one making if anyone in the UK can ?
