<< < (6/6)

Heffalump:
Soooooo, whaddaya reckon to the feasibility of a making me a 130# Hazel warbow for the Mary Rose competition in July then Del?

I only missed out by a few feet last year with a 116# yew......not wishing to sound xenophobic or anything, but I really would like to stick it to the Austrians if they come over again this year!  >:D >:D >:D

Yours aye,

Del the cat:
Have you tried the 130# Yew for distance???
Dunno if Hazel will meet Warbow spec'...
I'll see you at the bash on Sunday... I think maybe Elm is better than Hazel.... I do have the other half of the "Dennis Elmbow" log.

WillS:
There's a couple of big hazel bows on the ewbs forum - Joe made a very twisty 140# hazel that outshot almost everything else, and one at 160#.  The 160# was 47mm x 38mm. 

I've just had one of my hazel bows blow up - looked at the splinters and there was blue/green rot running all the way through.  Couldn't see any sign of it from the outside!

Del the cat:
Yeah, the one I did before this exploded, the wood just didn't look right, a sort of dull look and a greyish tinge.
I noticed it early on but ignored it  ::)  >:( ... stupid cat.
