100# self ash, complete with whopping chrysals....!

<< < (6/6)

Badger:
  what are the demension of that bow, length, width and thickness at the handle?

WillS:
It's been resigned to firewood now, so I'll have to go by memory,  but I usually make all of my ash warbows using similar dimensions - 40mm x 35mm in the handle, and 82" long to start with, then piked once tillered.  This one would have ended up being about 28mm thick at the handle I imagine.

As Jeremy said in this thread, it's quite possible to shoot them even with big chrysals, but I was more interested in learning how to make a bloom patch, so was quite willing to sacrifice a badly made ash bow if it meant learning something (which I think I did... make blooms longer!)
