adb:
Beech? Really. I don't think I've ever heard of a warbow made from beech. Cool. Could you post some pics of your bow and arrows?
meanewood:
Hi adb
I'll have to recruit my son to do that. I'm not just a primitive archer, I'm primitive all over.
Yeomanbowman:
Beech was the crossbow bolt wood of choice according to the records from St. Briavels Castle, a major producer of arrows and bolts in the 13th C.
adb:
I can see it as arrow or bolt wood, but I've never heard it used as bow wood.

beech? its a hardwood, right?
ELB war arrows were supposedly ash, "heavy to give a great stripe"...
