Ruddy, I am not questioning your design, I honestly have no idea about what is typical with most warbows. I quess the tables I see (such as yours and the others mentioned) are always qualified as starting dimensions. It would be interesting to hear from those who have started with such tapers, and have turned them into working profiles. :)

The dimensions Ruddy has written down are actually perfect for a finished bow with slight elliptical tiller. If you were to make the stave EXACTLY to those numbers, and the timber didn't have any unusual dips, flaws or weird areas of denser wood, then theoretically you wouldn't have to tiller the bow at all.

I used the 100-130lb category, and it's pulling 110lb on the tiller tree at the moment.

That's great, interested to see where it ends up but looks like you're on the money with that one!
FilipT:
Interesting thread and dare I say synchronicity, as I will start roughing out ash bow in about hour or so!
Ruddy Darter:
Good going with that FilipT :BB,
R.D.
FilipT:
Tnx, you too. Today I removed bark and put width dimensions, tomorrow it will got basic roughing out. But I must say wood was cut two days ago so it will be a while since I start to tiller it.
