Thank you very much for your friendly comments. I'm really glad you like it :)

The density of laburnum is somewhere between 0.73 and 0.85. So the densest pieces are comparable to Osage. This piece was somewhere in between. I have noticed that laburnum sapwood and heartwood have somewhat different properties. The sapwood is stronger in tension then the heartwood. Bows that are only made out of heartwood need to be a bit wider.

I did a few shots through the chrono. I reached an average speed of 182 fps with 10.3 gpp arrows. About 1 s anchor time.


Here's the full draw picture I made today. I'm afraid it's not perfectly perpendicular.

cheers and Merry Christmas!  (S)
