90# + MR pattern in ash
sagitarius boemoru:
I do have some experience in making these in whitewood, but they need to be somehow different in terms of taper and width 2 depth ratio .
This is one I made recently, its quite close to MR shape.
Its more like 95# than 90# at 32´´ but what the heck. You can also see that string follow was not an issue. Though If I ll be making this for myself it would be 3´´ shorter and heat treated and tilered alot, so it will end up 1/4 lighter in mass.
If you want to make one in ash, find wood which barelly floats and you are there. It does shoot around 190 meters with 50 gram arrow, which is something I espected. My shooting buddy Rob makes shorter version of 100# warbow like this out of ash, more narrow and he is getting distances in terms of 200 meters and more.

Beautiful bow sag. I think ash is totally under rated.
mullet:
Fantastic looking bow,Jaroslav.I have a good looking piece of ash you've inspired me to work on.
YewArcher:
Thats a really nice bow Jaro. I like ash allot. Have made several bows out of ot nd think its a fine wood. Any chance you ahve a full draw?
What where your rings like on that piece? What depth to width ratio did you use?
I have a pice right npow that I am ready to lay out.

That is a cool looking bow - don't know how you guys get them to bend so perfectly, those are some pretty tips too.
