Will Hickory make a good heavy bow

<< < (4/10) > >>

Ian.:
Small update -  'No' hickory will not make a heavy bow by its self,  I did however get a piece of yew from a tree surgeon, together they have so far made a 125lb @ 29" the final draw will be 32" but my tillering string has worn out.
Dimensions are 34 by 40mm at the handle 16mm round at the tips and 6' 10" grove to grove. of that the hickory is 17mm thick.

adb:
Pictures??

Ian.:
 This is at 29" it has dropped in weight so the final figure is 130lb at 32" but as its so long it will be piked.
