90# + MR pattern in ash
sagitarius boemoru:
Yes Asier, its because its omehow eliptical and it has best tips. Also very light in mass, though made from dense wood. It hasl best cast per pound from all three.
This is rather small yew bow of 60# at 31´´ also somehow eliptic. Made from coarse wood. Does it looks thick! This is only 72´´ NTN.
Enjoy!

Přivítat zpátky Jaro! ;D
I remember these bows, very nice work mate!
I wanted to know, did you heat treat these bows? did not notice any markings on the belly so I assume you didn't, ja?
About the yew bow, very nice work!!!
Is this Czech yew? Looks to be mostly sapwood or is color just light?
Ok, this is not much related, but what inside diameter do you prefer on warbow horn nocks?
Again, as Asier said, its very nice to have you back mate! I hope to see you around more. :)

Thks a lot...i just wanted to be sure....becose i have read a fiew topics aboute this bending thru the handle D bow, and there is a lot of people who are saying that the thickness of o bow like this should be equal to the width of the bow....this means that iff a bow is 34mm wide, he should also be 34mm thickk :-\...so this is why i asked you again if its in the handle or the mid limb....aniway thks a lot this realy helps me....i have an ash stave, and i did a test on it....i put a small piece of wood in the watter...and she is all most coverd in watter.....just 2or 3mm of wood its not under watter....you think its a good wood????...the only problem is that the stave has a little propelor twist....its not verry sever...but its not straight either....you think this should be a problem, if i want to make a 120# bow???thks a lot again... and what can i say...your bows lok gr8....i can only hope that i can make a bow like this from ash....aniway i will give it a try..

Alex, the ash bows are all heat treated, but only the 85# got really deep scorch. The yew is rather coarse, I took the sapwood down to two rings, suppose its the picture. Its also somehow flattish. (Oval) Its what I do with any materiall which is less than perfect - I just flatten the same profile.
Akila - if you make a bow with the same width as thickness, you will have very unstable profile, unless its completelly round and that is far less the ideal solution. MR bows are between 1.1 and 1.2 (width/depth) ratio in the middle, but thanks to low width taper they are more flatter midlimb. Given the leeway BLBS gives, you can go as much as 1.6 ratio and that is quite forgiving to make.
Cut small block of your ash. Put in the water slowly. Take out. Measure the submerged part and the dry part. From that you can calculate SG. For example a a piece of SG 0.9 will have 9/10 of the block submerged.
