Carina also had this to say in her email where I asked permission to quote her:
"There are many variables involved when trying to research the best woods and the best construction process for making various wooden weapons. one wood may be good for one weapon but not another and the same with the construction process. Even the mechanical properties of one species of wood can vary quite a bit from tree to tree and board to board, so unfortunately this is not an exact science."
Thanks to Carina for allowing me to quote her so as to share her knowledge & experience with others here on the forum.
