90# + MR pattern in ash

Asiertxu:
A little question about how to tiller a heavy Ash warbow Jaro...of around 100# at 32.

What do you recomend me to do , as slightly elipticall or full compass tillered bow??...

I know that elipticall tiller is bettes for flight or target shooting due to the  lesser hands-shock the bow has, and in the other hand the fully compass tillered bow sould be better to launch heavy arrows, but..... what the heck...

What is nicer to shoot in your experience Jaro???

Thanks in advance!!

Well, with ash, slightly eliptical is better for cast and handshock elimination. I think. Its spongier in feel than yew or other harder woods.

Hi again....i started to work on my warr ash bow....its a dense piece of ash....i test it....the piece is 5,5cm long, and 5cm widh, and its all most float.... it only remain 3mm outside the watter surface so i think its a good thing right>>>?...i wanna ask you something....whatt diameter its the hall that you have made in the horn noks??? whatt diameter should have the horn  for a 120# bow???i dont want to risk , and to make it to thinn...so this is why i ask you again ....thks a lot

Asiertxu:
Thanks Jaro!!

Then a slightly eliptical tiller is my goal right now for my first warbow out of my dense Ash wood... :) ;)...

IŽll let you know how this bow is going on!!...

Cheers..

Asier.

PS: Akila, good luck with yours mate!!...3mm out of the water sound real good to me!!... :)...

Akila  3cm out of water if your sample is 5 cm means only SG of about 0.4. Can you just calculate percentage ? Its 5 grader stuff.
The width and lenght of the sample does not matter. What matters is how much of it sinks into water and how much stays dry.

I would make the tips between 11 and 12 mm in diameter where the horn meets the wood, when making 120# and having dense ash.
