Cheap wood for bow making practice

Just a thought ;) Just because "whittling Will Hunter" (as he's known to most) does it with a pen knife (or claims to...) doesn't mean you have to.
FWIW, that genius Scandinavian bowyer Eirik made a 130# Warbow from pine recently. So it can be done!

Hey Will,
I do have a few bowyers tools, but they are the otherwise of the Atlantic right now. I have scrapers, rasps and a knife.

Possibly ash. I live in quite a dry climate so that could be just the ticket for a self bow.
