Toomanyknots: -Thanks a lot :) -I'd be happy to send you a piece of good quality local ash if you want to compare it with your local ash. Would have been interesting to see what two bows of identical dimensions and equal toasting end up with..

If U can find compression wood thats more denser than useally. Now I have three staves from the compression side of an ash log and they have near double weight than other same wood.
Hope will have a strongbow arround 90# a warbow over 130# and a strong flatbow from tham. My wood is flowering ash, fraxinus ornus.

Hehe, we might have to do that. Let me go cut a nice 3 - 4" diameter white ash to send you too first though. :)

-Deal then. Let me know when you've got one ready, and I'll send you one I cut down to 2"2" so it's easier to send. I think we both have to remove the bark for some rules..
