 I have to say I have a much better appreciation for Ash as a bow wood now, got a nice spring in it. it's good stuff :)

Maybe 'cos you've made it plenty long, trapped and heat treated it.
Don't forget those lesons on the next else it will bite you one the arse... or maybe just chrysal  ::)

Ruddy Darter:
Right you are Del,  :D
 
I got a better understanding on aspects I need to pay more attention to, and made some minor alterations to starting dimensions. Whether I get the result or not,  I'm aiming to relax and enjoy the process a lot more.

Very nice bow.  That tiller looks great. I've got a few large ash staves that this has provided inspiration for.

Ruddy Darter:
Thank you Kyle, and good luck with your ash.
I should of started with my worst stave first though, I feel I'd do it a bit more justice this time round.
