Plum
Badger:
Thanks Ian, thats very helpful, I will rough it out today to 1.5 X 1.5 X 78
Marc St Louis:
Steve
I've made some Plum bows and the wood is much more dense that HHB, more like Osage. I think that a 150# bow will have very small dimensions, much smaller than even the best of Yew
Badger:
I think you are right Mark, I roughed out a bad piece of plumb today just to try it out. ( full of bug holes) It barely flexes when I sit on the middle of it. I think I will start at 1 1/4" and go from their just to see where I end up.
Marc St Louis:
Try it the middle of those 2 numbers Steve, go for 1 3/8". You can always reduce the width but it's pretty hard to add some after.
Ian.:
Are you going to heat treat it?
