Mikkolaht:
Hey,

Decided to go with some native finnish bow woods.
I chopped this one down 2months ago, it was from a small sapling which had 1/32 inch thick growth rings, tight stuff.
I did not heat treat this bow at all, just a straight stick.
The bow has pretty high crown but it hasn't exploded atleast yet. )P(

Rowan / Mounain ash selfbow:
27inch draw
55lbs draw weight
69inches / 175cm ntn
Finish: Beeswax + filtered linseedoil
String: Linen string with beeswax.

Have a great day guys!

Aksel:
Very nice bow! Love the contrast sap/heart wood.

Hamish:
+1. Simply elegant.

superdav95:
Very cool. Great looking tiller. 

WhistlingBadger:
Great looking longbow.  That's a wood I'd like to try.  We have some mountain ash here in Wyoming, but I rarely see a piece big enough to use for anything other than a walking stick.

I love that heartwood stripe down the belly.  Nice work.
