Right Lads , Ive received a really nice length of cut down ash board and after a great deal of thought about whether to build an American flat Bow ( on a different thread ) or build the BITH bow , Ive decided to go with the BITH bow but just want to say a big thanks to everyone that was kind enough to offer their more knowledgable advice on both threads . As ive said , I already have the woodworking skills but I really appreciate al the helpful advice on this forum . Looking forward to taking my time to hopefully produce a good quality bow .
