Wood? for Warbow/ Heavy elb

(1/4) > >>

Will Carothers:
hey guys, ive been building bows for ~2 years now, and i want to make my first true warbow. im only 15, so my funds are very... very limited, so what wood/ wood combinations do you think would work on my type of budget. ive done hickory, cherry, etc; but i know those probably arent the best for this design

adb:
Osage, hickory backed osage, ipe, hickory/bamboo backed ipe are great combos for EWBs >100#s.

killir duck:
pm tenbrook he's got ipe and  bamboo i think he sells them for 50 bucks

fishfinder401:
What weight are you looking to get in this bow, alos I understand. your budget,  it can be tough at our ages to get enough money to get good wood without cutting it down ourselves

Will Carothers:
I was hoping for ~75-80# or higher so i can start making my way up, i think a weight like this is a good starting point
