bluejack, Mad Max is right on with his dimensions. I made a lot of ash bows when I lived in Maine (before the emerald ash borer helped create diversity!). I made pyramid design only and always with a 2-1/2" width at the fade. Even at that width most of my bows were in the mid 40s draw weight.

Beautiful bow and a tiller to emulate!

bluejack, those dimensions sound good.
I've used lots of different bow woods. Ash is the only one that chrysalled on me... almost always. Once I just looked at an ash stave and it chrysalled on me. :)
Tiller well.
Nice bow Mad max.
