Ian.:
 If you cut them two months ago then they aren't going to be ready to make into a bow for a good while yet.

Depending how fit you are and also how tall something around 80lb @ 30" should be the first bow. Your first bows wont be very good though so they will feel lighter than they are.

Hello Ian! I'm sorry, I didn't tell that I'm going to wait for at least a year or maybe two until I'm going to built a bow with the yew staves I cut two months ago. I will give it some time. Meanwhile I will maybe built a quite strong bow of meanwood. The yew staves I cut can be seen as the trigger for starting warbow archery. Until now, I have built 30 bows or something like that. The strongest bow I made is a yew longbow that has a draw weight of 65 lbs.
Why will my first warbows feel lighter than they are? I don't understand that.
