90# + MR pattern in ash
sagitarius boemoru:
It has not extremelly thick rings, but its quite heavy wood. I think it must be in SG 0.85 . It comes out sligtly flatter than similar bow in yew, when one starts with width tapper. This is 34 mm wide, but with the same width you could as well end up with 130# if you just ignore how the wood reacts to stress.
I also start with squared stave first, then plane down the corners and round them (on back) and plane downt the facetes from belly to sides and then round the part from facete to facete, thus having the typical "small flat surfaces on sides" MR profile to start with. It is very systematic approach and I think they worked the same way.

How long is the bow sag?
sagitarius boemoru:
Something like 74´´ or 75´´. I rarelly measure anything when I m making bows. I m having patterns for working with laminated staves, but that is of no use for split staves.
