Advice on ash stave suitability?

<< < (3/3)

Ruddy Darter:
Have I got the grain on adequately?, it moved about a bit, mainly top limb 1st picture, when squaring up. It's pretty much on final dimensions and wanted to check before I round the belly. Thanks for any opinion.

Pat B:
I'd round those back edges too before stressing the bow...but you know that anyway.  ;D
Gonna be an interesting build.  8)

Ruddy Darter:
Thanks Pat B, yep, I'm aiming to put an angled trap on the back a fair bit too.

...just added a pic of the trap I put on the back, and one of the belly view now rounded.

Ruddy Darter:
Started tillering the bow, I got it 70@20". Thought I'd show how I'm getting on, hopefully get a 100 drawweight.
Some work on the tiller, some heat treating and a fiinished bow soon hopefully. (pics removed)
