Wood for self warbow?
Bearded bowyer:
Any one up for a competition to see who can make a warbow out of the craziest wood?
Are there any pics of the lilac bow Wills? I'd love to see just how mad they are!
:)
Bearded bowyer:
apple?
WillS:
No, I can't find any! :(
There were a few posts over on PaleoPlanet by prolific warbowyers claiming Lilac made excellent bows, might be worth starting a thread on there asking for pics?
I want Bowslayer to make a warbow out of pine.... ::)
Bearded bowyer:

Yes, I forgot locust/robinia and also elder, boxwood, lemonwood and maple/sycamore.
Now it seem that they are getting to many and I will have to divide them for small/light warbows, warbows and heavy warbows and start this winter with the small/light ones.
Does anybody know more wood or has made experiences with an other wood in the list?
@WillS: Thanks for the links! The laburnum warbow looks crazy. :)
@Livefortheoutdoors: Elm (wych-elm) is already listed. Or do you think of an other conspecies?
Kind regards
Andi

ooh, I need to read more carefully. Although there are more species of elm..I've used different type of elm but never wych elm, and every time I find it works real nice, although it's a pain to split.
