white ash build along (finally done( this time for real))

<< < (2/30) > >>

Pat B:
That is a very nice stave that has been seasoning for 3 or 4 years and has good even rings. It was given to me by the son of a friend(Tom B on PA) that passed away last year from a brain tumor. I wrote an article in the last issue of PA about our community coming together to build a memorial archery sety to present to Patrick(Tom's son) in Tom's memory.
  I haven't worked enough ash to be helpful and especially not with a war bow. With patience(remember that?  ::) ) and you will get lots of info from these guys here in the War Bow section.   8)

Ian.:
I look forward to seeing the progression, Alan had a table of dimensions in his guide.

Cameroo:
That was a nice gesture Pat.

I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of that stave too.

RyanY:
fishfinder401, sounds like a plan. I haven't worked with ash but I think you'd rather have a really nice 120#er than try for something heavier and have it not come out. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

fishfinder401:
thanks everyone for your encouragement ;D, now especially after hearing where it came from, i want to do this stave justice and make a amazing bow out of it ;D, who knows, while im making it, if a piece big enough for an arrow comes off, i think that would be fitting to have for it.
i might be getting ahead of myself, but what would be a good waterproof coating, i usually use linseed oil, but i don't have as much experience as most people here, also would horn nocks be a good idea, and if so, should i get some of the premade ones you can buy, or should i hand craft them
thank you everyone especially Pat B

PS: Pat, if possible, i would like to put something towards that memorial archery set you mentioned putting together
