Wood ID For Bow

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
I'd suggest an overbuilt selfbow first to see how the wood performs.

Aaron1726:
TBB also suggests making a small scale bow first.  Something you can make quickly and easily to see how the wood bends.  If you have several pieces, could try it on a smaller one.

superdav95:
The bark sorta looks like elm.  If it split’s terribly then it might be elm.  Elm has interwoven grain with each layer of growth.  Is the bark softer to the touch and easy to break off some of its sections? 

bassman211:
Walnut . Make it wider, and longer.

Phillip King:
I will try a self Bow With Rawhide, Thank yous (S)
